Teaching Moment

Becca and I took Hayden to Bodies in Motion for his birthday, and we did a cosmic rope course together. The first thing they do is put on a harness that has two "lobster claw" hooks securely attached to catch you if you fall.

Once we got to the top and secured our "lobster claws" to the cables above the rope course we started out on the first obstacle, and Hayden was freaking out. He asked us if we were scared, because he was.

Becca showed him how the cable and "lobster claws" were 100% dependable as she hung in the air with no hands as the harness, "lobster claws", and cable easily supported her full weight.

We went on from the demonstration by explaining to Hayden that it was a great illustration of faith. We KNOW that the "lobster claws" will hold us, and so it is with genuine faith. With that same confidence we KNOW that we are 100% secure in Jesus.

Do you have your "lobster claws" in? Are you secure enough to let go?
