Follow Me

John 8:12; 10:4; 10:27; Psm 1:1-3; 2:12; 84:5; 118:20

I learned something today I never knew before. It applies to the christian walk so thoroughly that I decided to check my life again with the principle and share it with you.

Trapeze artists apply a non negotiable safe guard as they fly through the air... trust. You see, the catcher does all the work. The flier goes into the air, lifts his arms arms toward the catcher and trusts him to grab his wrist. He must not reach out or grab for the catcher. If he does, they run the risk of breaking each others wrist. He is caught and then he holds on to the one who saves him. That takes trust!

We are asked to do the same thing in our christian walk. Let go of the bar, reach up to the Lord and let Him catch us.

Do you ever notice that sometimes when the Lord has spoken to us we hesitate, question and wonder if we heard right? He has asked us to leap out and we, out of fear, wait. Granted, the scripture should always be the guide on listening to God's voice ( something I will cover in a later blog) but if you are sure of His direction and still hesitate then let me encourage you...leap. He will catch you.

I know, sometimes He leads into situations that require continual faith. Sometimes things do not get better, maybe even worse. However, if God is leading, His peace, joy, love and all the rest of the fruits will comfort, and place confidence in each step. When He leads and we follow, He is there in the situation with us.

What has God called you to trust Him for today?
What is your leap of faith?
What has He asked you to do?
Is He leading you into salvation, a special task, a walk of faith. Has He pointed to a situation that needs to change, a relationships? What ever it is, don't let fear stop you.

Follow Him. Jump, fly through the air into His arms. He will catch you.
