The Great X-Cape

PSALMS 71:2

DELIVER ME IN THY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND CAUSE ME TO ESCAPE

INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO ME, AND SAVE ME

I titled this book The Great X-Cape because I always thought of myself as invincible, as most of us do, and some more than others. The Bible says that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) Not in this case! Imagine having Aquaman as your hero but he can't even swim, or Superman and Batman and they can't fly. I had my own self-made cape that I wore everywhere I went, being my own superhero. I had much faith in myself, in my abilities, my talents, my intelligence, and all of the things that failed me in my time of need. Today, I am a retired superhero, surrendering my cape to the One who rightfully deserves to wear it. The One who does not fail in our time of need, who truly is my Hero, and has saved me from the biggest enemy I've ever had: myself. There are many things in my life that God has allowed me to escape from, and by the end of my book I will have listed a lot of them, but truly, I just can't tell it all. By coming to the end of faith in myself, I found faith in Him. By coming to the end of my own life, I finally found His, and that is truly the greatest escape that we can ever make!
