Trust God

There are times in our lives when it feels like we're hanging onto Jesus by our fingernails while everything else is against us. Today, R.C. Sproul asserts that even in our direst situations, we can trust the Lord.
Trust God. One of my favorite all-time illustrations told the story of the explorer who fell off the side of a cliff, two thousand feet to the bottom of the chasm. As he started to fall, he reached out and he grabbed a slender twig that was coming out of the side of the mountain, and he held on to it, and the roots were starting to pull free from the earth. In his desperation, he screamed to heaven, saying, “Is there anybody up there who could help me?” Then this voice came from heaven: “Yes, I can help you. Trust me. Let go of the branch.” The man looked down again into the abyss, then looked back up to heaven and said, “Is there anybody else up there?” I love that story because sometimes, dear friends, that’s what Christian faith is. It means hanging on by your fingernails. When everything seems to be against us. When the only one left to trust is our Creator and our Redeemer.
