THE STAPLE
A staple is a small object, it looks pretty useless.
No matter how unimportant we think it is, it has an important job. It holds
together papers, notes, documents, stereo wires in our rooms. Sometimes even our
clothes when we have a rip in them.
Just like a staple - Jesus will HOLD YOU TOGETHER!
If you will really look at a staple you will notice that the back of the staple
is straight with sides that protrude out. This is how Jesus has His arms. They
are extended out to embrace us IF we will allow Him to.
Just as the staple does not HOLD paper until it is put to pressure, many times
we forget these arms are extended to us and we only go toward Him when we are
under pressure.
*But faithfully His arms are there to WRAP AROUND us.
*Read Matthew 16:13-19.
*Who do YOU say He is?
*Verse 18 - can you put your name
where Peter's name is?
*What are you BOUND to?
*Pray right now that you will be bound to Christ.
