Stripped of all...and given a choice.

This is the closest thing to what I saw tonight. The rock faces were like these. Only steeper. Much, much steeper....

As I was worshipping tonight, I saw a vision.

I was rock climbing a 90-degree mountain side. Behind me, about 30 yards straight across, was another steep rock face. Between was a drop...so deep that there was no bottom. It just kept going.... into blackness.

And then from above me, my climbing partner reached down. To say his hand was large would be an understatement. I only saw the top of his head and his hand, as he turned back towards me. Holding a knife.

And then I saw it. A large black "bag" of sorts. Three times my size. On my back. Tied to me. I hadn't notice it, until he, in one swift movement, cut it from me.

At the exact moment that he sliced through the rope which bound me to the "bag", I saw that it was in the process of falling. It would have easily pulled me down with it.

But just at the moment that it was falling, his hand cut me loose.

And then I looked down. Apparently, as he cut the load from me, my outer garment came off as well. Leaving me, essentially, naked.

And then He spoke.

"Now you are left with a choice. Will you dance in freedom like David did (2 Samuel 6)? Or hide in shame like Adam?

For now, I have no words to add. I'm still processing...
