This past Sunday we had our first youth event, we had a blast and we gave away a phone. Cograts to Liz for winning the phone You are the texting queen. One of the things that we did was a belly buster competition in which they were climbing up onto a wall about 4 feet high and seeing who could do a true belly buster without breaking or folding. I have attched a pic of one of the youth that we caught in mid air.
As I was looking at the picture, once again God gave me a paralell as it relates to us His children and Himself. The kids were willing to jump off of a rather high place and expose themselves to a considerable amount of pain for the glory of being called the belly buster champ (Wow) and I don't think any of us remember who won the competition.
However, when it comes to God, often times He requires us to do just the same, something that may seem somewhat crazy and courageous both at the same time, though it may seem foolish to some it is wisdom to God. (God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise 1 Corinthians 1:27). Maybe God is calling you to jump off into something that is unknown, unfamiliar, maybe even a little painful, but just remember that God always rewards our obedience to Him.
