More than 100 years ago, Charles Blondin walked a tight rope strung across the Niagara Gorge, doing many different stunts over a period of several months. One day, as thousands of spectators watched in suspense, the man arrived back safely once again, and an excited crowd sought autographs. Mr. Blondin asked one admiring young man, "Do you think that I could carry a man on my shoulders back across?" "Oh yes!" the young man replied, "You could do anything!" "Very well," replied Mr. Blondin, "will you be the man?"
It is one thing to watch and applaud as someone walks a tightrope. It is an entirely different thing to actually climb on his shoulders and go with him. The difference is trust. What a perfect picture of the decision we must make concerning Christ. We must come to the place where we trust Him enough to put our life in His hands. Do you believe He can do what He said He can do? Or will you go one step further and prove it by relying on Him, banking on Him, and going with Him?
How many of us are just watching? How many are saying yes I trust you? Trust me, it is very hard to take that step out onto the rope or climb on the shoulders of Christ. I've learned that its a lot easier to walk the other way then to take that step of faith. God doesn't want you to feel that way. Instead you should feel the opposite. Trust in God and take that step. God has so many plans for you and all he is asking you to do is to follow him. A lot of times he is telling you to climb on his shoulders so he can carry you through it.
Don't get so caught up in whats in front of you. Instead look up and ask God, better yet, tell God that it's all in his hands. because I TRUST YOU.
