Our Leap Of Faith!
"Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor
be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is
the One who goes with you. He will not leave
you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31: 6
Last year, an apartment building in France caught fire,
trapping two brothers, aged three and ten, several floors
above the ground. A crowd gathered, and the boys had
to jump into the arms of those far below them.
The older boy dropped his little brother into
the crowd while thick, black smoke billowed
from the apartment.
Then the ten-year-old hesitated. The crowd yelled for
him to jump, and, gathering all his courage, he leaped
into the air. Both boys were caught, and neither was
harmed.
We never know when we’ll have to exercise sudden courage.
When we put ourselves in the ten-year-old’s shoes, we wonder
whether we’d have the courage to leap off a burning ledge. But
God gives us courage like He gives us grace, when it’s needed.
If you’re facing something frightening, take courage.
“Be strong and of good courage.” Don’t be afraid, for
the eternal God is your refuge and underneath are
His everlasting arms.
"When your knees are knocking,
it might help to kneel on them."
