Words of Devotion

Contemporary culture is fascinated by the wolf, celebrated as the symbol of the full, uninhibited life.

Actually, the wolf is a slave to fear, haunted by the night shadows. A better symbol of fullness would be the domesticated dog.

The wolfish nature has been tamed. The pet finds a fullness of life denied the wild wolf. The dog with his master enjoys more freedom than the wolf, who inhabits the anarchy of the forest.

Liberty is found when one is “domesticated” under the Master, Jesus. No longer is such an individual compelled by the quest for survival, but he or she lives in the fullness of the Master’s supply.

Do you find fullness in Christ? Or are you looking for fullness in others or things? To be fulfilled, one needs Christ who satisfies our every need.
