Whats that Buzzing Sound?

So I’ve wanted to write this for a while. It’s weird, I had this thought days ago but I felt I was writing too much and decided I’d not write it. That was the Enemy, and in the name of Jesus I ask God to rebuke him.

Have you ever gotten in your car and hear a strange buzzing sound? A few days ago got in my car after work and there was a decent size fly in the back of my car. I watched him fly around trying to escape through my back window, knowing that he’ll never make it through. I thought to myself, “Poor fly, let me help him out!” So I opened the window that he was closest to in the back to let him fly out of it. He flew to the other side of the back and didn’t even go close to the window. I thought, “The window must have startled him.” So my next step was to roll down my other back window. He moved now to the middle of the back window and chose not to fly out the open windows. At this point I thought it funny that there are two very easy ways for him to go and he still chose the one that was never going to work. I then swatted toward him with my hand and he decided to go out one of the windows!

I normally would have just shrugged it off, but God had a different plan. He said, “Bryan, that fly is an example of you and how you walk your Christian walk.” I was puzzled! God said that I was the fly. I realized what he was saying is that there are times where I try and walk this walk and try and “escape” my sin but there is just something I can’t see blocking me. That blocker can be my pride, my lust, or many other things. God sometimes gives me one or two easy options to get around these blockers and to escape my sin. Yet, I chose to continue flying toward my sin “window.” In some cases it’s when God has to literally scare me for my life that I pay attention and escape his way instead of mine. God reminded me of Proverbs 3:5-6.

“5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

God said, “Bryan I need you to trust me in faith, sometimes without you understanding what I’m asking. You need to trust that I’ve cleared the path and made a way, and that I’m doing what’s best for you!”

Father thank you for this revelation, I pray God that I can walk this the way that you have for me!

My question is simple, Are you like the fly in the story?

Has God given you a way to make it out?

Are you trying to fly through your own back window, and not out the easily seen open side windows?

God I pray that you can move the hearts of your children so that we seek your clear still voice, so that we can walk in your ways! I love you Yahweh!

Be blessed!
