Encouragement
A couple decades or more ago there was a movie called “The Marathon Man”. It was some kind of edge of your seat flick where a young guy is chased all over the city for reasons he doesn’t understand after his brother is killed. Finally he is captured and a seemingly insane torture dentist induces painful procedures all the while asking and screaming at the guy “Is it safe?” Eventually the young guy figures out what this nut case is after but not until he’s escaped the grasp of this man and raced around the city like a madman trying to figure out who he can trust.
I was thinking about my spiritual journey this evening and this movie popped into my thoughts. I think many of us share this same experience in various forms throughout our lives. We seek God wondering if He’s for real but all the while we have the enemy chasing us down with various schemes and plots to wear us down until we don’t know who to trust and we want to stop running the race. When we finally think we have found our savior in Jesus we spend a great deal of time wondering, “Is it safe?”
Is He for real? Can we trust this savior Jesus? Is it safe to trust in Him? I can only speak for myself tonight, but there are 2000 years worth of testimonies to read. Not only is He for real, but yes, it is safe to trust in Him.
