HANGING ON A WIRE

"Your life will hang in suspense and you will stand in dread both day and night, never sure of your life." - Deuteronomy 28:66 

Like this errant balloon, have you ever felt as though you were "hanging on a wire?" Feeling so insecure as though you would lose your grip? 

God doesn't promise us a life without stress and anxiety. There will never be any letup, and there is no assurance that we will live to see the next day. You do not know what will happen to you. 

But if you look at the Life hanging before you, i.e. Christ on the cross, there is reason to believe that all will be well. God has made a covenant with you, and He will not disappoint. 

So instead of "hanging on a wire," hang yourself on the cross of Jesus Christ and feel His healing comfort and companionship. 

O my Lord and Savior, take me down when I am high-strung, lift me up when I am frazzled, remind me of Your promises, and always carry me close to Your heart. Amen.
