Wonderful illustration Linda, ![[thumbsup2]](graemlins/thumbsup2.gif)
Trusting our Heavenly Father, that is what Salvation is all about. Believing He will do exactly what He says He will do.
He will never fail us, even when we fail Him,

God wants to do the impossible -- but it all begins with a leap of faith!
Ps 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth. (em-oo-nah)
One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. His father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, "Jump! I'll catch you." But the boy was afraid --he couldn't see his father --all he could see was flame, smoke, and blackness. He was afraid to jump. His father kept yelling: "Jump! I will catch you." But the boy refused, crying, "Daddy, I can't see you." The father replied, "But I can see you, and that's all that matters!"
Sometimes we find ourselves in the midst of the firey trials of life and all we can see are the flames, but faith is knowing who will catch us when take that leap of faith. The word 'truth' in this verse, in Hebrew, is em-oo-nah, which is also translated faith. God delights in responding to our faith. He wants us to jump into His arms, especially when we can't see Him.
At times when my faith seems small, I remind myself of what George Mueller once said, "Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends."
