Deer Cave is on the Southeast Asian Island of Borneo.

It contains a floor of bat dung 100 meters long.

This dung supports an entire ecosystem of cockroaches, centipedes, and crabs.

They are born, live, breed, and die in the dung.

They are also completely unaware that nice green leaves grow on lush trees just 100 meters outside the door of the cave.

As I read this story… the Holy Spirit showed me that many times we

humans do the same thing.

We crawl around in the same “dung” over and over again, sometimes even giving up hope that things will ever change for the better.

We are like the critters who are satisfied living in the dung inside the cave. But God can see the lush forest on the outside of the cave where we can have a much better life than on the inside.

The way to get out of the “dung” is to trust in God, whom you can’t physically see.

The critters in the cave can only see what they are living in at the moment.

You can only see where you are at this moment.

But God can not only see the lush forest yards away, He can see across the globe to unknown places, people, or events that can transform your life forever.

GOD!

How He chooses to use YOU is up to Him, but if YOU desire

to be used by HIM, YOU must make the choice to be a part

of what HE is doing.

The Israelites were stuck in “dung” and legalism when Jesus came to set

them free from their messed up lives.

BUT…they had to make the choice to be open to hear what He had to say.

They could keep crawling around in “dung” or walk out of the cave into the freedom that Jesus died on the cross to give them.

He offered them the free gift of righteousness, but they had to accept it, and choose to implement and walk in it.

A Life Change… It was a dramatic life change for the Israelites.

But surrendering your life to follow God today will result in you making some life changes as well.

God has a much better life planned for you than you can ever imagine.

BUT…you must make the choice to accept it and follow where He leads.

I can definitely promise that your life won’t ever be boring again.

From personal experience,

I admit that walking into the unknown is scary; but when

you think about it, living your whole life crawling

around in the “dung” in the bat cave is much more scary.
