Devotion for Wednesday, January 11


This morning I would like to share with you a devotion by Henri Nouwen, a well-known bestselling author and Roman Catholic priest.  He writes primarily about spirituality and discipleship.  

Trust is the basis of life. Without trust, no human being can live. Trapeze artists offer a beautiful image of this. Flyers have to trust their catchers.  They can do the most spectacular doubles, triples, or quadruples, but what finally makes their performances spectacular are the cathers who are there for them at the right in the right place.

Much of our lives is flying.  It is wonderful to fly in the air free as a bird.  Let's trust the Great Catcher!

I invite you to trust that God is with you amidst your aerobatic, if also, uncertain living.  Know that God will catch you and set you free again to pursue another risk into the world.  You can do so trusting that you will be caught again and again and again.

Blessings,
Pastor Dave
