MONDAY MORNING MOMENTS May 4, 1998 Vol. III Number 12
A television program preceding the 1988 Winter Olympics featured blind skiers being trained for slalom skiing, impossible as that sounds. Paired with sighted skiers, the blind skiers, were taught on the flats how to make right and left turns
When that was mastered, they were taken to the slalom slope, where their sighted partners skied beside them shouting, “left!” and “Right!” As they obeyed the commands, they were ale to negotiate the course and cross the finish line, depending solely on the sighted skier’s word. It was either complete trust or catastrophe.
What a vivid picture of the :Christian life! In this world, we are in reality blind about what course to take. We must rely solely on the Word of the only One who is truly sighted - God himself. His Word gives us the direction we need to finish the course.
“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5
