Nick Across Niagara

I watched Nick walk across Niagara Falls. What an amazing feat that was. But there are so many lessons we can learn from that. First of all, courage to follow our dreams. Praying about that dream and believing God to bring it to pass.

Then comes to details. One step at a time took him from start to finish. Staying focused! Listening to his father's encouragement with each step. His father was praying for him as he walked. Fear did not paralyze him, but his goal kept him going. He had unfavorable conditions with the wind, the mist, and numbness in his arms/hands. I loved it when he was almost at the finish line, he started running. Then he finished with glorifying God for it all.

This is us. We have a goal. We need to take one step at a time. We see the dangers all around us. Here is where we lose. Many of us stop because of fear. We don't "see" the Father, and often are listening to the noise around us instead of the Father's voice in our hearts/ears encouraging us in our walk. We look at the dangers around us, the suffering. We don't keep our eye on the finish line. We don't stay focused. Let's get back on that rope, listen to the Father, and run for the finish line!!

Let's listen to God's voice in our ears each step of the way, and when we reach home, we'll hear the beautiful voice of the Lord "Well Done, my good and faithful servant." We'll be able to say, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7.

God bless you
