A tight rope walker balances high above the heads of spectators at dizzying heights, strung between church steeple and town hall. It was a long, dangerous length. As soon as the artist achieved his goal, the masses applaud enthusiastically, and demanded an encore. “Do you think that I can manage to make it back over the dangerous rope?” he shouted to the spectators. “But of course, of course” they shouted back. So the man balanced once more on the dizzying rope. As he reached the end, the crowds clapped and stamped, and again shouted enthusiastically “Encore Encore!” And so the tight rope walker took a wheelbarrow and shouted down “Do you think I can manage it with this wheel barrow?”. The crowds looked up spellbound. Crossing a thin, dangerous 200m high and unstable rope with a wheelbarrow? Yet someone from amongst the crowd shouted up: “You can do it! I believe you can, you’ll manage it for sure!”. Upon which the tight rope walker shouted: “You think I can manage this? Then come up here and sit in the wheelbarrow!” No body was ready to take up the risk. From the crowd a little boy lifted his hands and said ‘I am ready to sit in the wheelbarrow and when and sat without any fear. The rope walker balanced the along with the boy once again and reached the end. There was great applause in crowd. As the boy came down, people asked him how did you sit in the wheel barrow without fear? The little boy said, I know I will reach the end safe because the one who balanced me and the rope was my father.
My dear friends, Our life is a Rope that swings us through Hope.. But how do we tackle the situation? Whom do we trust in those times? Sometimes it's hard to find trust in this untrustworthy, disloyal world. It's important to not get hurt, but you also must learn to trust in God. Trusting the Lord should be easy. Psalm 9:1 says “And they that know your name will put their trust in you: for you, LORD, have not forsaken them that seek you.” If you are serious about Jesus, then you may trust HIM completely and place your life in his hands. He is the one who can lead you safe. When your helpless trust in the Lord he will take care of you, and the situation you go through. He is there for you. That is why he says “call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me. Psalm 50:15” It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding.”
For meditation: Psalm 23
