Devotional #4:
Wizard of Oz Quote - "There's no place like
home. There's no place like home."
Almost every American has either seen or heard
of the Wizard of Oz and the famous quote
"There's no place like home." In the movie
Dorothy goes around defeating evil to find a way
back home. In the end, she discovers that she
had the answer since she first arrived in the
land of Oz. It's similar to our place with God.
Some people feel lost in a world when something
goes terribly wrong. After it goes wrong, we
keep getting more lost and panicky until we are
shown the way. God gives that free easy way home
with no strings attached. He gave Jesus so that
if we believe he saved us, we can be saved. God
will also give us that chance to choose the
impossible road. Satan makes that alternate way,
but something will ALWAYS go wrong and we'll
fall flat on our face and give up as we sense
the impossible. Jesus, just like the good witch,
will always be waiting to give us advice and,
when we ask, show us the way home. If we realize
this maybe we can give others a heads up and
help them get off of the impossible road. |
