I have lately really been thinking hard about things and really looking into the most simplest things.Well during worship on wed. i was thinking... and that is where this came from.
Okay so like When you were little you remember the monkey bars right?
Well I really sat and thought how these simple playground thing is just like our life and just like our walk with God.
You step up and hold on for your life. You slip a little but you keep going.
You take the steps towards the platform one hand at a time.
When you are up there your hands start to slip. So you go backwards towards your starting point.
This is Just like our lives you guys...
You are hanging in mid air and when you start to slip or fall slightly you get freaked out and go back and have to start all over again.
But like if you remember when you were little your dad would hold you up there so you would feel safe.
That is just like God...He is always holding you up there so you can feel powerful and safe and like you can do it on your own.
But when you get older You father isn't there to hold you anymore. He is just there to stand under you and catch you if you fall.
Again just like your relationship with God. when he feels your ready or old enough to try the monkey bars (life) by yourself he just stands back and is there if you need him.
But then you fall.....
Not just slipping up but actually falling on the ground.
Face First.
But the amazing thing is your Father is there to pick you up, brush you off and put you right back on the bar you fell off of.
But only if your ready to trust him and have him help you after you fell in life.
But you have to trust that He is always going to be there if you fall.
And when you feel confident enough you keep going.
One hand at a time.
What I'm saying here guys is that you are going to slip, you are going to want to go back, you are going to get scared in life.
But God is always going to be under you if and when you need him.
If your slipping, or if you actually fall.
Hes there. always.
But you need to believe in Him and have faith that even though the struggle in life to get to that platform is hard, he will always be there to catch you.
Always.
