Walking The Wire (part 1)

Last Friday night I watched history being made as Nik Wallenda walked a tight rope across Niagara Falls.  Other tightrope artists have crossed the Niagara Gorge downstream, but no one had walked directly over the falls, and authorities hadn't allowed any tightrope acts in the area since 1896. As  the world watched, Nik Wallenda kept his mind focused on the task at hand and his eyes on the goal. Guided by his father, Nik bravely set out to accomplish a dream that no one had ever achieved.


The life for a believer can resemble Nik's walk on the tight rope. Nik Wallenda didn't just wake up last Friday and decide that he was going to walk across Niagara Falls; it took years of planning and training. I could imagine as a kid, Nik was trained by his family.
The Godly Life is a process, You don't just say the sinners prayer today and everything else just magically disappears. One must train and prepare themselves for spiritual warfare. We train by praying and reading the word. We fast and develop discipline and self control. We face hate and in return we learn to cherish love. We step out on faith leaving behind us all of our past failures. After each challenge we begin to resemble Christ more than the day before.
