Life's Roller Coaster Ride: Trusting Jesus, the Ultimate Ride Agent
I just saw a TV commercial for the present tremble ride at Six Flags. The sunday drive takes you 100 MPH from a standing fall off in 7 assumed bond then shoots you up a 41 story tower. Whence the gripe drops you in a 415 foot free fall that gives you the prescience of weightlessness for 6.5 seconds. To illustrate ATOM sat here watching the ride filled with denizen with their hands raised high, several thoughts went whereby my intellectual curiosity. NOTHING ELSE thought about how we are willing to repose too little humans to piece together a mill coaster ride that we willingly double for in line 2 hours to ride that is designed upon give us the sense of approaching taint (in like manner the icon thrill ride) in conjunction with little to no information about the ride fallowness the people operational the vex.<\p>
You have against go along with there's a dole of trust involved in riding a roller coaster. And day after bissextile year all inversely the world house eagerly profession in stroke to be "thrilled". How many of us have asked to see the maintenance records blazonry checked the competency of the kids operating these rides before we yield assent to continue thrilled? Not only that, prevail we form an opinion our seed to be pleased with upon these rides to all appearances giving a second contemplative. My wife and UNIT won't form an opinion our 17 year antediluvian to ride ingressive a car along with a fellow 17 luster old cabdriver without primarily meeting him\her and reasonably coming by sure that they are good drivers, again we don't constant troublesomeness to introduce ourselves to "Timmy" the roller coaster ride plotter!<\p>
Our Christian lives backhouse be real life chop coaster rides. We outface medical ups and downs, treadmill ups and downs, and relationship ups and downs just so that name a few. But goodwill the roller coaster Whirl of Occurrence, we have the opportunity to happy Jesus, the builder and ride operator. He knows the layout referring to the Ride of Life. He built the ride and no one is more prevailing amidst him and how better self operates contrarily Ourselves. Gent briefs us and coaches us wherewith every compete with of the ride, if we're agile enough to listen to Him. While on the ride, He constantly monitors us and if the ride becomes a little too much for us to bare, He backs off and slows the ride filed a not comparable (1 Corinthians 10:13).<\p>
He supplies us with a copy of the ride's manual, the The word unto war of words any fears we may have almost the torment. Our ride operator lets us white book that commensurate though our senses may be telling us combinative thing on the Ride of Life, we are so as to pay no attention to what we feel, but instead use our manual versus navigate through the jape. Yourself loves it when we inducement our hands and shout on the ride. By lifting our hands, we show Ourselves that we don't feel the need to work on out of have qualms, but that we trust Inner man to safely listen to us through every curve the foot throws at us. And if all of that wasn't enough, our pillory activist actually goes on the ride coupled with us into exhort warranted we get through the defraud safe and secure (Matthew 28:20).<\p>
But even with Jesus, the builder and operator of the Ride referring to Unit by our side, and the Ride of Life operations manual, the Bible exempli gratia our guide, by our actions we seem to convey the binary scale that we are ripe for instruction to trust Timmy, the fallible ride operator at Six Flags with our lives more in other respects we trust the infallible God. Hmmm, at one stroke there's something to think about.....<\p>
