Empty soda bottles.

Hamish loves playing with my empty big diet soda plastic bottles. He chases it around the house, tries to ‘kill’ it while making an awful noise.  Once it has been defeated, chewed up, he wants the next new one to do the same thing all over again.  When the bottle I am using is on the coffee table he usually leaves it alone.  As he knows he has tried in the past to poke it with his nose but it doesn’t budge. 

Do you feel like you have been tossed around like my empty soda bottle?  When you are near empty that is when you get tossed back and forth.

It is so important to be abiding in God, obeying Him, being filled by Him.  Life can be hard even when we are but when we are running on empty, how much more vulnerable we are to Satan’s attacks. Our spiritual discernment is way off, ever noticed that? When you haven’t been walking closely with God you can think one way about something that is happening in your life, or not be clear about it: But when you repent, obey and abide in God, you see things differently. We are then; way more stable than my full soda bottle, as God is our anchor, our source of strength.

“my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior.”
2 Samuel 22:3
