Heavenly Red Tape

Still renewing grace like a license?

Luke 10 says Jesus saw Satan fall like lightning which is Bible language for he got fired so hard the sky lit up. Jesus reminds the disciples of Satan’s fall right before telling them not to celebrate their power but to celebrate that their names are written in heaven. Not written on a clipboard. Not lost in an inbox. Not waiting for an appointment. Your name is locked into the eternal system, no paperwork required.

So yes the devil fell. And yes he probably ruined the customer service department while he was there. But your story is different. Your place is secure not because of your performance but because Jesus stamped your file himself.

Questions for the Week and Strong:

1. What part of your faith feels like customer service hold music?

2. What form are you still filling out that Jesus already shredded?

3. What are you renewing that was already approved years ago?

This Week in Prayer and Unnecessary Forms:

Lord, help me stop bringing paperwork You never asked for. I keep waiting to be approved by a system You already bypassed. Please confiscate my clipboard and escort me out of the building. Amen.
