I love mazes! I love solving those maze puzzles in magazines. I was one of the biggest fans of maze computer game. “A Maze in Corn” is one of my favorite fall adventures in Winnipeg. I love the thrill of being trapped. I love the fun of trying different routes to find my way out. And I love the excitement of knowing I’m almost there!
Of course I have no idea who invented mazes. I don’t know the people who designed those mazes I worked on. But I trust them so much – that each maze has a route leading finish line. I am determined to try things, to think more, to take challenges… because I know there’s a way out. There should be.
I don’t know how many mazes I’ve solved since I was a child. Same thing as I can’t count how many challenges I’ve faced in my personal life… definitely more than those mazes. But I treat them the same way.
Like those maze adventures, sometimes we feel being trapped in difficult situations. It could be a storm in a relationship, a challenge in career, a spiritual battle, some financial difficulties… and perhaps we’re thinking there’s no way out. We thought we’ve tried different route but always hitting dead ends. Friends, just keep trying. There should be another route. There should be a way out. If we can trust those people who designed those mazes, would it not be unfair if we don’t trust our God who promised to walk with us till the end of the race? Never get tired. Seek the thrill of hitting those humps and dead ends, and the fun trying different routes when one did not work out. Feel the excitement of hearing God’s voice saying “We’re almost there!”
God did not promise us an easy life. His promise is that He will never leave us. Finish the race, and have a fun-filled adventure!
