Total Trust               

The Bible says: “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” Psalms 20:7 (KJV)

A group of scientists and botanists were exploring remote regions of the Alps in search of new species of flowers. One day they noticed through binoculars a flower of such rarity and beauty that its value to science was incalculable. But it lay deep in a ravine with cliffs on both sides. To get the flower someone had to be lowered over the cliff on a rope.

A curious young boy was watching nearby, and the scientists told him they would pay him well if he would agree to be lowered over the cliff to retrieve the flower below.

The boy took one long look down the steep, dizzy depths and said, “I’ll be back in a minute.” A short time later he returned, followed by a gray-haired man. Approaching the botanist, the boy said, “I’ll go over that cliff and get that flower for you if this man holds the rope. He’s my dad.”

Not only did this young boy trust his dad to not let go of him, he also trusted his dad’s judgement of the ability of the rope being  sufficient to accomplish the task.

In what and in whom are you trusting for your eternal existence? Each and every person on the face of the earth will spend eternity in only one of two places: either in hell’s eternal anguish, torment, alone and with no hope or in heaven with our Redeemer and the precious saints who have gone on before us in all the glory and majesty of His presence. Which will you choose?
