LEMMINGS.

Remember that game Lemmings? It was all about guiding a load of little creatures from one place to another and bringing as many as possible safely to their destination. You had to use different skills to ensure that all the Lemmings got home Safe. This meant using the right skill at the right time.



Now the thing about Lemmings is that they don't really have any sense of Direction and most of the time just follow each other. They don't have much sense of danger either and very often they will just keep running until they hit a dead end. Very ofter it has been known that Lemmings will run and run and run straight over the edge of cliffs because they didn't sense any danger and didn't notice any obvious dead end.

Now when a Lemming does sense danger it will quite often either STOP! in the hope that the danger will pass or will run and run even faster in a panic to get away from the danger.

What do we do when we see or sense danger? Will Some of us will run away from it, some will hide from it and some will stand and face it.

What do we do when we feel down and feel there is just no way forward, or no light at the end of the long dark tunnel?  Well again I guess there could be a few answers for this one to. We can Stop, And hope to be rescued or wait for light to appear. We could even run back from where we came and try and to get back into a safe place we are familiar with.

Around 509 BC many people where taken from Jerusalem to become slaves in Babylon. Miles away from home and with the worst living situations imaginable God spoke to them through this guy called Jeremiah. He Told them to ''Dig in, and pray for for peace. because when it prospers you will prosper''.

God knows how hard things can get for all of us from time to time and he knows about the suffering we feel when the worst things happen. God wants us to live fully and work hard to build his Kingdom. Even through the lowest times God is there and he is ready to give us the best.

So how about we try and follow the Lemmings example and if we are in that long dark tunnel and we don't see the light at the end, KEEP GOING! and know that God is there and the light will come.
