it's a two for one day!
I remember when I took some leadership training courses for missions with Teen Mania.
One of our play along activities was linking hand by hand your group as you walked alongside a cliff.(like that was ever really going to happen) What we were learning was how to trust the others in the group you were leading.
When you see rock climbers scaling those gigantic mountains, you never see anyone climbing by themselves, they always have a partner. I have always been intrigued by their set mentality: they need to have complete trust with each other, and if one is in complete danger, they need to be willing to risk it all to save the other. I have seen and read countless numbers of stories where one had to cut the rope in order to save the other. They literally gave their life to save their climbing buddy!
The most important piece to the "Footprints in the Sand" is:
Where you saw only one set of footprints,it was then that I carried you.
God is the most important link we have for scaling those mountains that get in our way. It takes a rock climbers strength of complete trust.
When my brother's one daughter was four, she was falling asleep in her bed one night, holding hands with her big sister, before dozing off she asked,
"If we both fall asleep holding hands, will we have the same dream?"
When we are holding hands with God, our dreams become His dreams. And His deepest desire is to fulfill those dreams that we have. All He ask's of us is to walk a holy life, trusting in Him.
