He's no Wizard of Oz

I come from one of those families that valued the Wizard of Oz. I am sad to say I have family members who can quote the whole movie word for word. They have seen it so many times that they close their eyes and quote every part to it, and that is scary. But have you ever thought about the whole theme to it, the whole feeling and vibe that is put off.
Dorothy is swept far away from home by a tornado, she meets the scarecrow who needs a brain(met plenty of those,haha), she later meets the tin man who needs a heart and the Cowardly lion. They embark on this journey and each time Dorothy runs into someone with a major need she tells them about the Wizard of Oz and where she is headed. Each time the story gains more credibilty in human terms and she is more convincing. THey finally get to the Emerald City(is that what it is, not sure) and they attempt to get into the city but have problems. Then, when they meet the wizard they are freightened and begging almost as if they have no confidence in his abilities at all. Then, they realize that he's just a man and that they have had the things they needed for the most part all along.
Hebrews 10:19-21 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and lving way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest of the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart full of assurance of faith,.....
We should not be like the characters of the movie and walk with assurance and faith and then go to God without it. We should have full assurance of our faith and understand that is the key ingredient in our prayer lives and in our Christian walk. Faith is the substance that gives us confidence in our prayers and in all of our interactions with God. We can enter the Holy Place, on our own, no we don't need a priest to go in for us because as Christ's body was broken our entrance was made available by the tearing of the curtain.
We have an all access pass to God, the maker of all things, the sustainer and giver of life. We should approach Him with full faith and full of assurance, not with trembling and a lack of faith. Our faith outside of our prayer life is useless unless it is alive in our prayer life.
So go to God with full confidence, full faith and see your life changed both in your walk and in your devotion times with Him.
Thanks for reading and stay dry!
