Go Over The Edge!
"Have faith in God."
Mark 11:22
Adventure seekers in Omaha, Nebraska, can rappel off the
Highline Building during this annual event called “Over the
Edge” it raises money for Greater Omaha
Youth for Christ.
The organizer explained, “That first step is the hardest when
they tell you to trust the rope and lean back. That’s the hard
part but it is thrilling.” Imagine stepping backward with 230
feet of thin air below you, supported
by single rope. It feels
dangerous, but, done correctly, it’s safe, exciting, and the
cause is worthy.
The followers of Christ are like that. We lean on Christ during
the cliffhanging moments of life and trust in Him like a climber
walking down the side of a building. In his book, Trusting God,
Jerry Bridges wrote, “It often seems more difficult to trust God
than obey Him. The moral will of God given to us in the Bible
is rational and reasonable. The circumstances which we must
trust God often appear irrational and inexplicable. Yet it is just
as important to trust God as it is to obey Him.”
The ups and downs of life may be God’s way
of teaching us to rely on Him. You can trust
the rope of His grace.
"In order to trust God, we must always view
our adverse circumstances through the eyes
of faith, not of sense."
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God
