An Allegory of Deliverance

"She felt her wrists and realized the chains were no longer there...they had fallen off in the blinding flash of light that came forth few seconds ago. But the cave was still dark,, and she could still hear the growls of the dogs outside as they circled the entrance of the cave...something they did every night to ensure she didn't escape. Was she dreaming...or hallucinating...? Or was she really free...? If the latter, how would she leave without the dogs tearing her to pieces...?

She inched to the entrance of the cave then shrank back in fear as she spied the huge dogs circling the entrance...she stretched out her hand to steady herself on the cave walls and...waoh! They went right through as she let out a muffled scream...what-t-t-t! I'm invisible...or something similar...am I dead...? And then it hit her, the flash of light had made her invisible...her body was transformed to another substance, the kind that went through walls...did this mean...? She walked slowly and fearfully out of the cave, watching the dogs closely, it was as if she was invisible...she was! She walked right past all 4 of them and then broke into a run...freedom!"

Psalm 124:7-8 "We escaped like a bird from a hunter's trap. The trap is broken, and we are free! Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth" (NLT version).

He delights in you, that's why He sent Jesus to die for your freedom!
