2 Corinthians 5:7 - (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Last night I watched Nik Wallenda walk across the Grand Canyon on a two-inch tightrope suspended over fifteen hundred feet above the canyon floor. Like many others that watched this event on live television, I too expressed that fact that their is know way that I could ever attempt anything close to this accomplishment.
Amazing was the fact that as Nik walked across this small cable,his focus was on what was straight ahead of him,and not what was below him. The entire time that he walked, the listening audience could hear him thanking God and expressing his love, faith and loyalty to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
As Nik got closer to the finish and with his eyes on the prize, we were able to see him go from a slow walk to a sprint as he reached the completion of the walk. Brothers and Sisters this was an extreme act of faith by Mr. Walenda, one that he had trained for and one in which was in true communication with his God.
As we go through our lives, our faith may not have to be in walking across a cable over the Grand Canyon. But there will be times in which we must move forward in faith, looking straight ahead and not behind, above or below us.
What endeavor are you undertaking in your own life, and do you consider it to be your leap of faith(or canyon walk)? My prayer for you is that your walk of faith be taken in direct communication and partnership with God.
May your journey go from a walk to a sprint with Jesus Christ as your travel partner.
Blessings and Peace
Pastor Tim
