Faith

I know that faith is the assurance of the things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen but;
Do you ever feel like you are hanging upside down and have to rely on someone else to keep you alive? You have to have faith in the one holding you.
Do you ever feel like you can not get the job done on your own and need someone to lift you up? You have to have faith that the one you are relying on to hold you up will not give way.
Do you ever feel like you should be wearing a safety harness, because one misstep and it is a long ways down? You have to have faith that what you are standing on is not going to allow you to slide off.
Do you ever feel like you are way up in the air with not near enough to hang onto? You have to have faith that what you are holding onto as the truth is indeed strong enough to hold.
Sometimes faith is not just a definition, it is living one day at a time in a dangerous world that wants us to think there is no God holding us in his arms, no God is holding us up, no God is a firm foundation, no God is strong enough to keep us where we belong. Nothing could be farther from the truth, God does take an active role in caring for His people.
 Yes I know our boys in the pictures are crazy and have no fear of heights, but if we have faith in our God our fears in life should be stilled. I am definitely not advising anyone to do dangerous activities and assume God will protect them. What I am saying is that God is protecting and keeping us for eternal life with him, and we can have a sure faith that he will hold us till we stand before His throne.
