A Parable. August 26
Don't eat the lemon drizzle cake with a fly in it.
And what I mean by that is - don't accept a tastefully delicious but painfully tainted gift from your enemy. Even though you love lemon drizzle cakes, if given to you from the wrong person, well, the cake could be poisoned, not made right or is given with an ulterior motive. A scenario being… if you eat a bite, are you indebted to that person? Are there attachments or unexpected ties involved?
Because, let me remind you, a true gift will come with no expectations at all.
Let me take this parable another way. The lemon drizzle cake is a rare treat. You can't get this cake just anywhere.
So, it sure looks extra appealing when the enemy brings it to you. It sin-sational and your mouth is watering.
I would warn you. Wait. Wait right there. Do not pick up your fork. Do not take a bite.
I know you love that lemon drizzle cake. But so many times we are called to wait. And wait we must until God himself brings that treat to us. If I am speaking to you one message, it is this: wait for the very best gifts from the Lord and do not settle. It may not be today. It may not even be tomorrow or next week. It could be years before you are even presented with such a delicacy.
But when it comes, when it's presented from the right source - it will be perfect - and it will all yours to enjoy…with no strings attached.
Don't eat the lemon drizzle cake with a fly in it.
If you need prayer for anything, let me know. I would love to pray for you!
