Catch Me I’m Falling!!

Posted on 25. Aug, 2010 by in Blog

If you have been in any type of leadership training, team building exercises, school or youth programs you have all seen the illustration where the speaker asks for a volunteer from the crowd. The volunteer comes up to the front, then the speaker begins to instruct the volunteer to turn and face the opposite direction and close their eyes. The speaker than whispers into the volunteers ear “Now slowly just let your self fall backwards….Don’t worry, I WILL CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL!” At that moment the crowd becomes silent as they wait to see what the volunteer will do; does he trust the speaker? or does he open his eyes and just walk away?

We have all seen this illustration, we use it to demonstrate Trust and Faith in our lives and the hands we put our lives into. whether or not this illustration becomes old in your eyes  the simple truth is our Trust and Faith will always be challenged. Whether you are young or old, rich or poor, just gave your life to Christ or have been serving God for years, there will always be a time when you have to say “God i have no other choice but to close my eyes and trust that you will “CATCH ME WHEN I FALL”

Its not a statement that your life is falling into deep sin but a statement that you have to put your current situation, Family and Life completely into Gods hands. Rhea and I are relearning that right now as I type, we have to hold each other by the hand close our eyes and begin to fall back into the hands of the Lord. There are plenty of people watching to see what will happen, waiting to see how we respond and Jesus is whispering into our hearts “ Commit everything you do to ME, Trust Me and I WILL help you”Ps.37:5        

 If “CATCH ME I’M FALLING” is currently in your vocabulary today, than hear the whisper from Christ, close your eyes turn around and fall; He will Catch you.
