“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms;
He will thrust out the enemy from before you…”
Deuteronomy 33:27 

In a sermon, Juan Carlos Ortiz spoke of a conversation with a circus trapeze artist. The performer admitted that the net underneath was there to keep them from breaking their necks. Then he added, “The net also keeps us from falling. Imagine there is no net. We would be so nervous that we would be more likely to miss and fall. If there weren’t a net, we would not dare to do some of the things we do. But because there is a net, we dare to make two turns, and once I made three turns, thanks to the net!” Ortiz makes this observation:

“We have security in God. When we are sure in His arms, we dare to attempt big things for God. We dare to be holy. We dare to be obedient. We dare, because we know the eternal arms of God will hold is if we fall.”
