www.Crosswalk.com August 25, 2004 UpWords A Weekly Devotional from Max Lucado Earthbound or Airborne? By Max Lucado Hans Babblinger of Ulm, Germany, wanted to fly. He wanted to break the bond of gravity. He wanted to soar like a bird. Problem: He lived in the sixteenth century. There were no planes, no helicopters, no flying machines. He was a dreamer born too soon. What he wanted was impossible. Hans Babblinger, however, made a career out of helping people overcome the impossible. He made artificial limbs. In his day amputation was a common cure for disease and injury, so he kept busy. His task was to help the handicapped overcome circumstance. Babblinger longed to do the same for himself. With time, he used his skills to construct a set of wings. The day soon came to try them out and he tested his wings in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps. Good choice. Lucky choice. Up currents are common in the region. On a memorable day with friends watching and sun shining, he jumped off an embankment and soared safely down. His heart raced. His friends applauded. And God rejoiced. How do I know God rejoiced? Because God always rejoices when we dare to dream. In fact, we are much like God when we dream. The Master exults in newness. He delights in stretching the old. He wrote the book on making the impossible possible. Examples? Check the Book. Eighty-year-old shepherds don't usually play chicken with Pharaohs ... but don't tell that to Moses. Teenage shepherds don't normally have showdowns with giants ... but don't tell that to David. Night-shift shepherds don't usually get to hear angels sing and see God in a stable ... but don't tell that to the Bethlehem bunch. And for sure don't tell that to God. He's made an eternity out of making the earthbound airborne. >From And the Angels Were Silent Copyright 1992 Max Lucado For more great resources to help you grow in your relationship with God, please visit Crosswalk Faith: http://link.salemwebnetwork.com/UM/T.asp?A1.207.25744.2.1698058 View the full selection of devotionals available from Crosswalk.com here: http://link.salemwebnetwork.com/UM/T.asp?A1.207.25744.3.1698058 >>> Share the good news <<< Please forward this message to a friend!
