"No, the Lord is all i need. He takes care of me." - Psalm 16:5So i was doing a lesson in my bible study called "Experiencing the Heart of Jesus" by Max Lucado.......excellent bible study. Anyways, he talked about a father with his arms spread out waiting for his child jump into his arms. The child, ready to face the mightiest jump, tells him to scoot back further. He asks, "is this enough?" She replies, "no, further!" But anywhere he moves she trusts that he'll catch her.
THis is such a reflection of our relationship to Christ. Many times we tell God, "Okay God you can give me some more room and i'll handle the huge jump." Well...... no mater how far we want to jump He's always going to allow us that room. But whenever it's just a tad bit too far for us and in the midst of the jump we find ourselves falling, we know He's always going to be there to catch us. Maybe i need to realize that yes, God can catch me no matter the distance, but why become greedy for more room when God is always right by my side. God never commanded us to make giant leaps to Him. He said that He wants intimate time with us and He wants us to look to the left and right and see Him. No need to put space in between God and i because i get a little brave.
