When You Don't Want to Be Rescued

from Devotions with Pastor Stanton · host Stanton Petersen

Have you ever known you needed to leave a situation, a dead-end job, an unhealthy relationship, a bad habit, but you just couldn't bring yourself to do it? There’s a strange comfort in the familiar, even when we know the familiar is toxic for us. This hesitation reveals something deep within our hearts: a hidden attachment. We think we want to be free, but some part of us is still clinging to the very thing that’s destroying us. Today, we see this spiritual paralysis in a man running for his life.
