Tight Rope with God

I want you to be all Mine. I am weaning you from other dependencies. Your security rests in Me alone—not in other people, not in circumstances. Depending only on Me may feel like walking on a tightrope, but there is a safety net underneath: the everlasting arms. So don’t be afraid of falling. Instead, look ahead to Me. I am always before you, beckoning you on—one step at a time. Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, can separate you from My loving Presence.

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy him!” —Deuteronomy 33:27

Neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. —Romans 8:39

Did you ever go to the science museum when you were a little kid and ride the bike across the center of the room that rests on a tight rope. It seems so scary because it looks like there is nothing to hold you up but that bike and the cord that holds it up from the ceiling. However, you end up going because all of your friends did it and you realize that you didn't fall. You recognize that the cord coming down from the ceiling is holding the bike on the rope and although it looks scary and dangerous, you will really be ok.

This example parallels our lives. We see situations and think that they look scary and that we will fall if we try to overcome them. And granted, we would if we didn't have God (the cord coming down from the ceiling) holding us up. It is hard to trust God before we enter the situation but we must know and trust that He will keep us safe. He will god before us, behind us and beside us. He is our protector and we have to let Him be so that we can get across that tight rope to the other side, heaven!
