A leap of faith

Today, Paul Marc Goulet wrote the message of "A Miracle Every Day". I pray his message and audio will bless you today. -- Great progress requires great risk. This past season, I learned the concept of a faith leap in a very practical way. I was skiing in a snowstorm in California. Even though the conditions were horrible, I was having fun in my personal happy place. I really love to ski. The sun was going down, and the snow was pounding my face with a frigid, piercing consistency. I debated for a moment if I should squeeze out one last run or head to my car for safety and warmth. I chose one last run; it almost cost me my life.  Have you ever made a bad decision that cost you dearly? The ski lift was fast approaching as it had so many times before, but this time the seat was full of ice and I found myself slipping off. The chair attendants watched in horror as I went higher and higher, clinging onto the rail for dear life. Eventually they stopped it; however, I was between 10 and 12 feet off the ground. Have you ever felt completely vulnerable, as if you were hanging by a thread? I didn't know what to do... Then I heard their advice with complete horror: "JUMP!" I screamed one short response: "WHAT?!" As if to say: “Are you guys completely nuts?” I weighed my options for a split second, then heard their insistent urging: "JUMP! JUMP!!" I stretched my arms as far as I could and jumped. In 2 Corinthians 5:7, the Bible states that we are to "…walk by faith, not by sight." Obeying God or making changes in your life requires a leap of faith. It is scary, but I've learned you can live by faith or live in fear. Choose faith. You’re a miracle!
