Tied to the Wrong Rock

"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." Psalm 18:2
One morning while I was praying, I asked God to help me let get of my need to always be right. God showed me a vision of me swimming in a sea, tied to a big boulder with a rope. God said "you're tied to the wrong rock." And it is true, and I felt it in every molecule of my body. Instead of being tied to the rock of God, the fortress, God my strength and deliverer, I've have been tied to a rock of self-righteousness. That will cause me to drown before it ever saves me. What a revelation! And what peace it brought me, knowing God was listening and showing me where I need to go. Now I am praying for instructions on how to untie the bindings that hold me to falsehood and lies, and for an instruction guide to roping myself to God's strength, His love, His wisdom.
