Steph Davis, climbs 1000 vertical feet without protection on “the diamond” in Colorado.

Maybe this is just me, but i want to look at my journey with Jesus in this life like steph looks at “the diamond” Do i trust God enough to free solo with him? Do i trust Him enough to do the radical things He has called me into; like contradict our Americanized Christianity by living a life that truly reflects Jesus. He has called us to live on the edge, to climb without ropes; help the needy, give to the poor, love our neighbor as ourselves (think about that….do I really love my neighbor as much as myself?) and love one another. Jesus says “By this all people will know that you are my disciples by your love for one another” (John 13:35)

When God asks me to free solo a “1000ft vertical wall” will i just go for it; trusting that He will take care of me and catch me when i fall because He is with me? Or, will i put some conditions on the task by bringing my carnal safety ropes and pieces of protection to save me?

Psalm 23~ The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Do we as disciples of Jesus really live this way? Are we willing to live radically, and walk the opposite way for Jesus. Will people know that He Is the only Way, Truth and life by our boldness for Him? Acts 4:13 “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.”
Don’t put God in a box, live out loud!

~Peace Be The Journey~
