It is only when we deviate from the Word of God that we find ourselves going around in circles or tangled in a confusing web that we cannot seem to get free from. Sometimes, an idea or a friend’s idea can seem so “God” until we get into it. That is why staying on the path is imperative! For, all those things that seem so “God” but are not will be revealed for what they really are through and by the Spirit of the Word.
I’m reminded of a 1999 sci-fi movie called “The Matrix” in which reality was not real at all but a computer generated simulated reality program. Simulated reality is deemed to be such that it is indistinguishable from actual truth. However, there was a rebel leader by the name of Morpheus whose purpose was to “wake-up” the populace and make them know the truth so that they would hopefully choose to follow it. (Ahhhh you know, . . . the red pill or the blue one?)
There is one scene in the movie when a turn coat informant is at a restaurant eating a juicy steak. In so many words he says to the person he is with, that he knows the steak isn’t real, but he doesn’t care. He’d rather enjoy the pleasure of deception than live the stark reality of truth.
Sadly, many in the body of Christ and beyond find themselves with that same mentality. They are lost deep in the Matrix of sinful pleasure oblivious to what is really happening. You see, the computers that comprised the Matrix were actually using the body heat and electrical activity of the populace as an energy source. After, it was all used up the empty husks of their carcass was discarded.
That’s what happens when you stray from the path that God has set for your life. The enemy deceives you, isolates you and uses you up! The only way for you to escape the matrix that the devil has built for you is to follow the bread crumbs of God’s word. What does the Word say? He is faithful who promised and He will lead you to a place of truth, safety and peace.
So, stay on the path and allow the Word of God to light up each step and brighten the way. If you do, you will surely find yourself in a place of safety rewarded for your faithfulness to His word.
