The Tightrope Walker

Is it worth it?
Is the walk for the Lord worth it?
What you have done here on earth for your soul to suffer eternity in Hell? Mmm.
Tightrope Walkers, you know the ones that are in the circus, they are high above you. With just a rod to balance themselves on this rope, but being focus, looking straight ahead, not to the left or the right and not looking down.
Psalms 23 says, “Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me….
Let us put this in the spiritual sense. The rope is the path of Christianity, the word says, the righteous will scarcely make into Heaven. We have to be born again, become new creature in Christ to be Tightrope Walkers.
No baggage and leaving everything behind that can make you fall, trusting only in Him. You must be walking by faith not by sight.
Hebrews 10: 19-23
The appeal to hold fast, now an important verse is the 23rd verse and it reads, Let us hold fast the profession of our hope without wavering: (for he is faithful that promised)
Matthew 7: 13+14
The strait and wide gates,
Enter ye in the strait gate: for is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life and few there finds it.
Narrow road, this is the reason why our churches are low, they don’t want to walk that narrow road. They don’t want to hear the truth and they want everything sugarcoated, want it to be easy, like that commercial say “Wider is Better” not true. There are some things in life; you have to go through to make you stronger for what’s ahead. I’ll ask you again,
“Is it worth it”?
Second Corinthians 4:17+18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal
Staying focus and looking straight ahead. Looking to the hills from which cometh your help, sometimes I might seem by myself, but I’m going to hold on anyhow. There are times when you feel you are in this thing all by yourself, when no one understands what you’re going through. He knows and you are never alone.
Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his son, he didn’t hesitate on God and was obedient, see there was a ram in the bush and holding on to your faith He will make a way out of no way. Through God’s grace and mercy, you will pull through.
Yes, it is worth it.
