Hangin On

Spent some time at Salt Pond Beach Park today with the family. As we were relaxing in Gods creation I watched the Kite Surfers who on a very windy day seemed to be flying across the ocean on the power of the God sent wind.

For a while I wasn't sure what impressed me more... the artistry of the kite surfers or the wind that carried them along.

Then I realized that without the wind, the surfers were for lack of a better word "nothing."

It was the wind which carried them across the waves and provided all of their power. They were then free to harness the power into a thing of beauty.

I was reminded that the provider of that same wind is also the driving force and power behind every good thing you and I do.

I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

I was also struck by the idea that even when the wind was blowing, if the kite surfers weren't holding on securely they were bound to fail. Don't you think that all too often God is right there beside us and we choose not to hold on to him and his power, fall and then try to blame him?

My friends, God is right beside you ready to power you to amazing heights! Hold on tight! Enjoy the ride! Sharpen your skills! The skills that God has placed in you to fly high under his power!

Feel free to tell me what you think... and have a great day!
