Sky Diving

                     I'm sitting on the 27th floor of the Signature MGM Grand in Las Vegas observing tiny people in the pool and streets and in little cars.  I was asking God what to share about, and He showed me an image of a person falling off the building.  Can you live your life with complete trust in God?   Would you jump not knowing who or if someone would catch you?  A life surrendered to Christ is often like that person free-falling with no assurance of safety,  other than their own personal trust and faith in a faithful God.

              Zac recently said to me faith is more about believing in who God is than it is about believing for something we can get from God.  If you have faith in God then you already know He will protect and provide for you, because that is in His character.  Too many of us are spending our time trying to believe for provision or protection or even healing and its getting us no where because we don't believe in the One who can give those things freely.  It's like a man who doesn't even know who his identity is.  Let's say he was born a prince but never knew it and lived his whole life as a peasant...he won't think like a king or act like one because he believes he is a peasant.  Is our faith in things and promises and ideas or is it in God?  Who is God and what is He like? Who are you in relation to Him?  Who do we believe we are?
                Since I've been flying the world has become much much smaller.  I can be in four states in one day and still be home to sleep in my own bed that same night. There is no distance in the spirit and you may feel far from God, but He is near, there is no distance between you and God...He lives in you and He is closer than anyone will ever be to you.  From 35,000 feet our problems become unrecognizable, the world is miniature.  This perspective from up above has allowed me to get a glimpse of how high God's perspective is.  It is so so so much higher than ours.  It can be so hard for us to see things from God's perspective, but just remember it looks nothing like what we see.  Just like my view form the airplane window the world is a very different place from the sky.  Take a big step back from all your problems and issues and worries and have faith in a loving and faithful father who sees it all...every minuscule detail; and He is too good to see what He sees and not do something about it.  It's okay, you can jump, He might let you fall, screaming till your breath runs out, but He'll always catch you.  Until you jump, it's all about you, you're holding on, you're in control, and you just won't let go of your perspective for His.  Close your eyes if you have to, count to three or hold your best friends hand...do whatever it takes, but just jump and let go.
