The Womb…
A womb is a place where something grows. It is a place where life is formed. In the same way, what we allow through our eyes and ears becomes planted inside of us. Those things grow, take root, and eventually produce fruit in our lives.
We may not always be able to control everything we see, but we can control what we choose to look at. We may not always be able to control everything we hear, but we can control what we choose to listen to.
Think about your recovery journey. Before coming to Leah’s House, many of us listened to voices that spoke lies over us. Some of us watched things, participated in things, or surrounded ourselves with things that fed our flesh instead of our spirit. Over time, those seeds grew and produced destruction.
Now God is teaching us something different.
Just as faith comes by hearing the Word of God, fear can come by hearing the wrong voices. Just as peace can grow from fixing our eyes on Jesus, anxiety can grow when our eyes are fixed on everything else.
The enemy would love nothing more than to plant seeds of doubt, fear, shame, guilt, bitterness, and temptation. But God wants to plant seeds of faith, hope, peace, joy, forgiveness, and freedom.
Every day we have a choice. What seeds will we allow into the womb of our eyes? What seeds will we allow into the womb of our ears?
The battle is often won or lost before it ever reaches our actions. It begins with what we allow to enter our hearts.
Over the past year, I have often prayed, “Lord, let me see the way You see, hear the way You hear, and speak the way You would speak.” I don’t always get it right, but God is faithful to correct me when I miss the mark. The key is being willing to receive correction and continue growing.
