Tight rope walking, is the skill of walking along thin rope or wire. Acrobats maintain their balance by positioning their center of mass directly over their base of support. In the Christian walk, we are also walking a tight rope. In order to stay balanced, we must have the Bible as our support not only carrying it with us but reading it and learning from it.
Just as the tight rope walker has to stay focused on reaching his goal, so do we. The Acrobat cannot focus on the rest of the world, what the spectators are doing, or anything else going on around them. If a tight rope walker loses concentration they will fall and can even lose their lives. Right now in this crazy season, we are in we must stay focused. Don’t worry about what social media, the news, or what anyone else in the world is saying, we must stay focused on Jesus Christ and everything else will fall into place. Just as Paul did we must focus on our own calling (race). The calling that God has us in,
2nd Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight I have finished the race and I have remained faithful.
As Christians, we need to do the same. We must focus on a balanced Christian life, With the foundation being Jesus Christ.
Matthew 6:33 – Seek the kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need.
So today I want to encourage you to stay focused, stay balanced, don’t look to the left or the right, focus on the plan that God has on your life and if you’re not sure what that is, pray about it and talk to someone who can help you.
Psalms 119:1-2, you’re blessed when you stay on course walking steadily on the road revealed by God, you are blessed when you follow his directions doing your best to find him.
My prayer for you today is that you stay focused on Jesus Christ and don’t lose your balance by being distracted by the world. God bless, Love to you all be encouraged and have a blessed day.
