Week of October 13, 2024
his made me think of the gondola at Juneau, AK, that Cindy and I rode in last year when the church family sent us on a cruise. It was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed ourselves way more than is natural!
​
Getting back to the tram, I have to admit that my training as an engineer can interfere with my enjoyment of rides like this. I begin to examine cable sizes and redundant fall protection measures. I start to ponder maintenance requirements and wonder how complete their maintenance practices might be. I start to wonder if anyone checked the engineer’s calculations…
​
Ultimately, for me, carnival rides, ski lifts, gondolas, these are all ridden as a step of faith. I have to choose to set aside my questions and concerns and choose to trust that it’s all safe and sound.
​
Honestly, all of life and death is the same way. We can wonder, we can worry, we can apply logic and intelligence, but at the end of the day we can either be fearful, or we can choose to trust.
​
The difference is, engineers do make mistakes and technicians don’t always do their jobs. God, on the other hand never makes a mistake and never fails to do what He says He will do. What may feel like a step of faith is, in reality, simply acting on the reliability of our God.
​
How do we come to this understanding? You cannot trust what you do not know. How well have you come to know God? Is it based on secondhand information, or do you know Him personally?
​
How do you come to know Him personally? Talk to Him. That is, pray to Him. Know that He promises to hear and answer. That will change how you see the world around you.
