John 14:1 “Do not let your heart be troubled. You have put your trust in God, put your trust in Me also.”
2 Corinthians 5:7 “Our life is lived by faith. We do not live by what we see in front of us.”
I have recently began reading a book written by Angie Smith called “What Women Fear”. She had a really good analogy that I have to share.
Imagine our lives as a tightrope. We are walking, embracing the pole that helps hold our balance, but yet the moment the wire begins to shake, we start to fear. We know that the net is below us and ready to catch us, but in that moment, do we regain our balance by focusing on the pole and the rope, or do we focus on the net catching us in that moment when we fall?
The tight rope symbolizes our faith walk. We put one foot in front of the other, feeling good and confident. Holding the pole, which symbolizes Christ, and letting Him balance our lives. Then situations occur, we begin to loose our balance, our faith begins to waver. The net symbolizes God. He will always be our safe place. He will always be waiting to catch us when we fall. However, why don’t we just put our full faith in the pole that we have sitting in our hands. “The more we tap into life balanced by Christ, grounded in knowing Him and His word, the less we have to worry about falling off.”
