Bible
Someone has said that security is our nearness to God, not
our distance from danger.
Aren’t you glad that our security is not in our strength
but that, as Peter said, “[We] are kept by the power of God”?
In a sermon Juan Carlos Ortiz spoke of a conversation with
a circus trapeze artist. The performer
admitted the net underneath was there to keep them from breaking their
necks. Then he added, “The net also
keeps us from falling. Imagine there is
no net. We would be so nervous that we
would be more likely to miss and fall.
If there wasn’t a net, we would not dare to do some of the things we
do. But because there is a net, we dare
to make two turns, and once I made three turns – thanks to the net!”
Ortiz makes this observation: “We have security in
God. When we are sure in His arms, we
dare to attempt big things for God. We
dare to be holy. We dare to be
obedient. We dare, because we know the eternal
arms of God will hold us if we fall.”
What to do:
✞ Attempt great things for God.
