“‘When I called, they did not listen; so when they called, I would not listen,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Zechariah 7:13

I happen to be running a little late today. But Hey!! It’s Christmastime! Yesterday, after making Christmas Cookies with the Grandkids, I had some time in the early evening to sit in the quiet of the patio. Suddenly, 2 rabbits came running by in a circular chase that went on for a while until…they simply froze in place! It was STRANGE!!!! I guessed that they either got tired or lost interest! Then I started thinking…

When I think of Christmas I tend to think of Reindeer…not bunnies. After all, rabbits are typically an Easter symbol! But along with the distracting speed and craziness of strange events in 2020, I have seen a HUGE increase in the number of WABBIT sightings this season. Though I find it disturbing and rare, it ISN’T unpwecedented!

Going back in time to the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve ‘had it made.’ Being best friends with ‘The Creator’ tends to put one at the TOP of the food chain! That is until their focus shifted. Did you know that ‘eating the forbidden fruit’ was NOT the ‘first’ in! It was ‘LUST’ that robbed their focus when they ‘willfully’ took their eyes off of God and placed them on their own selfish desires. Satan’s method worked so well, he uses the same formula today!

A WABBIT is one who, for ‘whatever’ reason, Won’t Accept Biblically Based Inspired Truth! To a WABBIT, ‘whatever’ is ALWAYS ‘personal,’ and to them, it is ALWAYS valid. I KNOW this because, in MY own walk with Christ, I have noticed a dangerous tendency to turn floppy ears toward a direction OTHER than where Jesus was leading. Soon, I turned tail and began to HOP!

The distraction of getting tired or losing interest in ‘God’s Way’ is a good wake up call. Finding myself uncomfortably frozen in place, with only my thoughts and the Holy Spirit, was a GOOD place to be! His final warning that I am NOT a WABBIT was what changed my reversal and got me back on track…following BEHIND The Shepherd. Right where I was meant to be!

If your direction is frozen and you’re confused, please know…God is trying to speak to you. Don’t be like the Old Testament Jews who refused to stop and turn around until it was too late! I’d advise you be a sheep…not a WABBIT!
