A few days ago I got Matt to help me operate the boom truck to
replace some gutter ice guards at church. I wanted to give Matt the
opportunity to go up in the bucket to remove the old ones.
I didn't tell him that I had fabricated and welded the bucket
myself. I thought if he goes up it will prove he trusts my welds. I
got in the bucket first and let him lift me up to prove he didn't have
anything to worry about. Faith is like that.
Do you trust Jesus enough to believe what He says? He came
to the earth and faced the same challenges (and more) that you and I
face. He “got in the bucket” (For you have been called for this purpose,
since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in
His steps. 1 Peter 2:21) to prove you can trust what He says. Anyone can
say I trust Jesus, but I challenge you to prove it—Get in the Bucket! Be
obedient to Him! Let Him have control of your life. Turn over your
struggles, your finances, your marriage, your illnesses, your
family problems to Him. Trust Him when He says “Come unto Me, all who are
weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest”. Matthew
11:28 He also made this amazing statement “I am the resurrection and the
life. Those who believe in Me, even though they die like everyone else, will
live again.” John 11:25
