ON A LEASH
Today's reading: Isaiah 5-8

"The Lord has said to me in the strongest terms: Do not think like everyone else does." Isaiah 8:11 NLT

If you're like me, it's time you put your thoughts on a leash.

Yes, a leash.

Yes, like a dog leash.

It's time we no longer allowed our thoughts, our fears, our doubts, our self-accusations, our judgements to run loose terrorizing the neighborhood.

We need to give them only so far to travel. A specified length of chain to their own. A safe, controlled and clearly marked area in which to run, jump, play fetch and stretch their legs.

But we need to set the boundaries.

God tells us that very clearly.
