The Belt

THE BELT
Beloved, I see a belt.
It once was used to hold up garments that covered the Body.
Yet the body has lost weight; and though the belt is tightened again and again, suddenly it holds up nothing.
All has collapsed.
There is nothing left except the belt and the clothing lying on the floor.
Strange.
The body was still eating.
But not of the Living Bread.
The body was still drinking.
But not from the Living Waters.
The body was still excercising.
But not strengthened with might by His Spirit.
When she began to lose weight and become undernourished, she assumed the belt would hold things together.
Notch by notch she would call upon the belt to secure her garments and cover her nakedness. But there was only so many notches, and when there were no more, everything collapsed to the floor.
Too late, it was discovered that It was not the belt that held the clothes to the Body.
It was the Body itself.
"Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." (Rev 16:15)
