Potholes and Sin

You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you. Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together. Song of Songs 2:15
Recently God gave me a picture of a freeway on-ramp that was cluttered with potholes and debris. Driving a car onto an on-ramp like this would be dangerous. If one goes too fast without care of the vehicle, it would most likely damage the car.
It struck me that many of us are like that freeway entrance. We carry in our hearts past hurts and offences, and then wonder why we don’t have a victorious life. Those potholes are like the troubling foxes in our lives. They bring unbelief and weigh us down with wrong
understanding of who God is.
Jesus wants us to catch the troubling foxes, but not only that, he has said He will be with us in the process. “We will do it together” he said. That is such a comfort to me! I am not on my own when there are things in my life that need to be addressed and purged. Jesus is helping me through that undertaking because He wants to see me set free into His perfect love.
As I allow Him to work in my heart and cleanse me, it’s like filling the potholes on the freeway entrance. The surface is levelled and debris is removed, making it safer to drive on, for both me and the vehicle. The ride then is smooth and brings me to a wide open freeway, or onto a clearer path that He has for me. The noise of the vehicle driving over potholes is removed, so I can more easily hear His voice when He directs my steps.
Are there things in your life that you know are a hindrance to your walk with Jesus? If you give Him permission to cleanse you, He will. But He will do it in a way that brings you “life” in exchange for the “death” of sin.
God is for you, not against you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. And His heart for you is to see you set free from things that hold you down, like unbelief, shame, guilt or anger.
Be set free in His love!

This is a really thoughtful analogy. The idea of addressing issues before they worsen is a universal principle. It actually reminds me of the importance of timely dissemination in healthcare. For researchers with urgent clinical findings, a fast track medical manuscript publication service can be crucial. These services help navigate the expedited peer-review process at legitimate journals, ensuring critical data reaches the medical community without undue delay, which can directly impact patient care and public health.
