The Doubt Brought the End
There is a story of a cliffhanger, determined
to reach the summit of a high mountain. After years of preparation,
he began his adventure. Only he journeyed alone, because he wanted
all the glory.
He began his ascent, and as daylight
faded he decided to continue climbing. Night fell. The night
fell heavy as he was overcome by total darkness. The moonlight and
starlights were hidden within the clouds. There was zero visibility.
He was only a few miles away from the submit when he slipped climbing a
ridge and fell off, falling at frightening speed. While falling he
could only see shadow-like figures in the darkness and felt the tug of
gravity sucking him down. In those anguishing moments he saw his
life pass before his eyes.
He thought death was near when suddenly
he felt the tightening of the rope around his waist that tied him to a
nail embedded in the rock wall of the mountain.
In desperation, suspended in mid-air
he screams, "God, please help me!"
Then unexpectedly a deep voice from
heaven responds:
~"What would you have me do?"
~"Save me!"
~"Do you really think I can saved you?"
~"Of course, my Lord!"
~"Well then, cut the rope."
There was a moment of silence, then
the man tightened the rope around his waist.
The mountain rescue team tells a story
of a man they found frozen to death, his hands wrapped firmly around a
rope tied to his waist...HANGING TWO FEET FROM THE GROUND.
So, how tight are your ropes?
Would you let go?
~I am the Lord, your God, who holds
your right hand, and I tell you don't be afraid. I will help you."
Is41:13-
If this message has been a blessing,
pass it on to someone else.
God Bless.
