Power PlayՕրինակ

Have you ever had to do a trust fall? A person stands with their arms closed, with arms crossed over their chest, and then they let themselves fall backward. Instead of hitting the ground, hands on either side of the person will reach out to keep them from falling. The game is usually used as a team-building exercise, allowing you to build trust in your team as they continually keep you from landing on the floor.

It’s one thing to do this exercise with a group of friends or coworkers who you know. It’s quite another to try it with those in leadership above you who you may not know as well. Do you think they will reach out to catch you? Will they always be there to lift you up?

If we don’t trust those who have authority over us, we’re never truly able to let go and allow ourselves to rest and relax. We may feel like we always have to have that power and control ourselves and don’t trust it in the hands of others. But when we put our trust in Jesus Christ, we know we’re placing our lives in the hands of a perfect leader. One who uses all power and authority to keep us from hitting the ground, no matter what situations we may find ourselves in.

Today, truly ask yourself if you can place your trust in Jesus. Do you trust Him to lead your life? Do you trust in His power and authority?
