How to get off the treadmill

Have you ever watched a hamster running on a wheel? The hamster looks outside his glass cage and sees freedom, so he decides to make a run for it. But after a while, he realizes that he is not getting anywhere, so he runs faster. He runs until he is exhausted and can run no more. Can you identify with the hamster? You have been trying for years to break a habit, yet today you’re still in the same place, or worse. You have made New Year’s resolutions to quit your bad habits or have a better marriage or work on getting fit or improving your finances. Yet you’re still in the same position. Why? Because you’re using the wrong method! You cannot change yourself. The only way for a hamster to find freedom is if his owner reaches down inside the cage and lifts him out. He needs somebody bigger than himself, with greater power. David said, “I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord” (vv. 1-4 NLT). The way to get off the treadmill is to cry out to God, and He will set you free.
