The other day, I read the story about a man who had fallen over an extremely
steep and deep cliff. He grabbed a tree root about 500 feet down. Looking down,
it looked like it must have been 2,000 more feet to the bottom.
Looking back toward the top, the man yelled, "Is anyone up there?"
"Yes," came the reply.
"Who is it?" the man asked.
"God," said the voice.
"Can you help me?" pleaded the dangling man.
"Do you believe and trust me?" asked God.
"I do, I do," the man replied.
"Then turn loose of the tree root," said God, "and I will save you."
After a few moments of silence, the man cried, "Is there anyone else up there?"
A well-known support group for struggling people has a saying, "Let go, and let God". Talking about it and doing it are two different things. Doing it requires a strong, abiding faith.
