Knees or Back?

Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains, for they had rebelled against the word of God and despised the counsel of the Most High. ~ Psalm 107:10-11

In life, we are given many choices: paper or plastic, color of our cell phone, flavor of our ice cream, etc. The most important choice that will affect your future decisions is: knees or back. Are you going to call out to God when you're on your knees or when you find yourself flat on your back? The difference are the choices you make: will you choose to find your Savior and get on your knees and seek His face or will you determine to go your own way until life trips you up and you come crashing down and land flat on you back?

It's hard to watch someone who keeps turning away from God and godly counsel, only to go their own way and hurt themselves and others more. The important thing to remember for those who choose "knees" is that you can pray for those who may one day land on their back. And landing on your back is not the worst place in the world, because it gives you direct line of sight to God. When you are as low as low can go, up is the only place left to look. I encourage you, if you've never chosen "knees" before, today is a great day to start. If you're already on your knees, pray for those around you that you see stumbling, as they may not have anyone else to pray for them. And remember, we serve a God who longs to draw us to Him and redeems and frees those who cry out to Him. Cry out to your Savior today!

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their chains. ~ Psalm 107:13-14
