Barb wire: a type of steel wire fencing constructed with sharp edges or points arranged at intervals along the strands. It is used to protect property, An animal or person trying to pass through or over it will suffer discomfort or injury which is especially true if it is electric.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbed_wire
If you have ever lived on a farm, many of you have probably seen animals kept inside of this type of fencing to prevent them from leaving the area that the farmer did not want them to go. As a teenager, we were allowed to roam on my own grandparents land, but we avoided such areas that would have this type of fence, because we knew the danger of trying to get through or over them.
Have you ever thought about barbed wire though as something that could be used as a metaphor in your daily life? Something that jabs and pricks into your very soul. Something that hurts and sometimes even damages?
Most of us have experienced these injuries in one way or another, at one time or another.
So how do we deal with them? How do we survive them? Is there a way to overcome them? Is there a way we can even avoid them?
Starting tomorrow (January 7) we will explore some of the above questions to find out what we can do to possibly have a better year in 2020, according to God's word. I hope you will join
Until then, Have a Happy and Blessed New Year 2020 from my home to yours!
