Losing your balance for something better …
The preacher urges us, “Let go, and let God!”
Our application of that: “Hold on for dear life!”
Truth be told, life is not about balance. God routinely works at throwing us off balance because everything isn’t equal. The way of the world is a wide super highway pursuing pleasure, the way of Christ a narrow path toward holiness. It can be tempting to just settle down and hold on.
Francis Chan, in his video message below, challenges us to unclench the fear-laden grip we have on our lives and risk that imbalanced, narrow way of Jesus Christ …

If you let go and let God it will be the most exciting life ever! It wasn't until I surrendered and let go that I got the amazing life I now have. Serving God is exciting.

Amen, Linda. I think part of the fear people have of even letting go with God is that God does not promise the kind of security we desire. The security we want is to not fall of the balance beam. Jesus promised that in this life we WILL have troubles … but that He had overcome the world. His promise, His "security" is far greater than clinging to a flailing balance, but we think it's safer!
