Walls

 

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to travel. I’ve seen the Great Wall of China and the remnants of the Berlin Wall. Walls are used for a variety of purposes. The Great Wall and the walls around ancient cities were designed to keep people safe. The Berlin Wall was oppressive in nature, keeping people from freedom and being able to interact with the rest of the world.

 

We build virtual walls without thinking about them. Some of those walls may be useful, keeping us safe from Satan and the arrows he shoots at us. We need to keep these walls in good repair. Other walls aren’t useful at all. We build walls around us to keep from being reconciled with other people. We may try to wall off an area of our life so that God cannot get in and work.

 

In your quiet time today, reflect on what walls you have built. Ask God to help you tear down those walls that are harmful to you, to let His Spirit in to begin to heal you and your relationships.
