Daily Meditation: Trusting the Catcher

Sunday January 11, 2015 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid.  Do not be discouraged."  - Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV) Trusting the Catcher Trust is the basis of life. Without trust, no human being can live. Trapeze artists offer a beautiful image of this. Flyers have to trust their catchers. They can do the most spectacular doubles, triples, or quadruples, but what finally makes their performance spectacular are the catchers who are there for them at the right time in the right place. Much of our lives is flying. It is wonderful to fly in the air free as a bird, but when God isn't there to catch us, all our flying comes to nothing. Let's trust in the Great Catcher.   Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.     Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey, by Henri J.M.
