Stay Inside

     I recently saw a video of a turkey (on one of my brothers hunting shows). The turkey was desperately trying to get on the other side of a fence. It ran back and forth more times than I care to count, and FINALLY! It made it to the other side. And- while the turkey was still reveling in the sweet sense of victory of getting over the fence- BANG! The hunter shoots it. That turkey made me think of some teenagers and young adults that I know and have known. They try so hard and so long to get past the boundaries set up for them, and eventually they make it over. FINALLY! They are "free" to do whatever they please! And- while they are still reveling in the sweet sense of victory of getting their freedom- BANG! The devil gets them into his traps of sin. They ruin their lives, and horrible mistakes are made that can never be undone. Things are taken that can never be replaced, and days are lost that can never be used again. Don't let this be you. Stop trying to hop the fence, stop trying to break down walls, stop trying to be "free". True freedom comes through obedience and trust. Stay inside.
