Our separation from God has been bridged by God’s faithfulness through Jesus’ death on the cross. So what is our next step, how do we respond?
*We could follow the lead of the Spanish as they first encountered the rope bridges in Peru: declare God’s way too risky and build our own bridges. However, this only ends in the bridge failing and crumbling.
*We can stay stuck in the wilderness of our lives and never even travel on the bridge. This leaves us in dangerous territory, miserable, and forever separated from the God who loves us.
*We can be like Moses and make excuses for how we can’t do it, how we’re unqualified, and therefore too weak.
*Or we can submit to God’s calling and just say “yes,” and let God bless us, provide for us, and show the world His glory through our faithfulness.
Psalm 143:8-12
Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
for I give myself to you.
9 Rescue me from my enemies, Lord;
I run to you to hide me.
10 Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God.
May your gracious Spirit lead me forward
on a firm footing.
11 For the glory of your name, O Lord, preserve my life.
Because of your faithfulness, bring me out of this distress.
12 In your unfailing love, silence all my enemies
and destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.
