Caved In

By Polly Gwinn

It would take more than two people to drag me into a cave, cistern, pit, or anything enclosed underground. This is not a challenge but rather a caution. Never having been inside a cave, this is all speculation, but I believe caves to be dark, damp, hazardous, and snaky. There are many caves mentioned in the Bible, along with tombs, cisterns, clefts, strongholds, and various places to hide or be imprisoned. I have extracted a few of these from the Word of God for your enjoyment and enlightenment and have put a different twist on a few. I have not changed the Scripture but have simply used another view of "caved in." We can be caved in by actual caves, tombs, graves, or any other enclosed structures. Another kind of caved in is emotional, meaning that you have been mentally crushed by hurt, insults, or rejection, or a physical cave-in, like skidding on black ice or perhaps having major surgery. Self-inflicted wounds like what Adam and Eve experienced can cause devastating cave-ins. We are not expected to bring ourselves out of caves like graves or tombs, but we can and should call on God to bring us out of emotional, physical, and spiritual caves just as easily as He brought Lazarus out of his tomb after he had been dead for four days. This book is filled with diverse caves and cave-ins. Because of the numerous short stories, there is no index, nor is the book divided into chapters. So just jump in anywhere, settle in for some easy, Scripture-included reading, and look for your cave and a way out. Allow the "touch of the Master's hand."
