Roller Coasters can be a fearsome and terrifying experience for the unsuspecting. At your highest peak, fear is literally injected into your spine as the brainless machine completes its course, all the time never stopping to attend to your whimp. This is my summer vacation at the Universal studio theme park, in Orlando Florida in a nutshell. Funny now, yeah, but then fun was not the closest then.
Frankly, I do not think I want to ever return on any one of those emotionless machine.
"Whimp!"
I can hear you call me that. Hey but yeah, still I am not footing on a roller coaster, at least not anytime soon.
Fear cripples.
The gravity pulls you against their thrust of the high speed roller coaster and immediately you can feel your heart ooze out of you chest and leaks through your ankles. It seems so natural to scream at this point. Everyone lets out a gut scream as they all feel gravity drain their blood from their brains down their ankle in it confusion to stabilize the physiology of the body.
Today, it almost seems no-one gets enough adrenaline rush. This drive the adventurous to endeavor even more dare feats from sky diving to bungie jumps and even "Ultimate Fights". Sooner or later the new breed of people will become immune to any sort of fear or thrill.
At this point, I can only imagine what people who start to do for fun or for 'vacation'.
Falling after been lifted, whether it is on a roller coaster or a bungie jump or diving out of a flying plane, can be dangerously terrifying. Posted to most of these extreme vacation activities are signs warning eager participants of hazardous possibilities. Of course no one read these days, except for the conscious.
The pull of gravity can be fun for some but wicked to others. You can tell from the childish glee on the faces of those survivors as they emerge from to crazy ride.
At this point, it is those who were so conscious not to ride that are made to feel gravitated to 'whimpishness'. Fear induces inactivity which eventually robs, and depraves ultimately.
Even though the Bible warns that 'it is a fearful thing to fall in the hand of the living God', most mature christian have resulted to playing and running with too many worldly safety gadgets which are gravitating them to the sins of 'inactivity'.
It is high time we Sound the Trumpet! Ignite the urgency!!!
Where is the simple childlike trust in the sovereignty of The Most High?!!!!!
Where is the command to 'come boldly to the throne of grace' where we can attract more spectacular grace to win giants bigger than ourselves and mountains higher than ourselves and valleys lower than we imagined?
Where is the choice to accept our cross, pick it up and follow Him?
Where is the unquestionable willingness to know, follow and obey Him?
Where is the deep longing for an absolute quiet time, in
His presence before and at the close of our day?
where is the hunger and thirst for speaking to each other in hymns and spiritual songs and the excitement of an altar call?
Whimp?!!!!! Shoooos! That sounds like hard work, just to keep up...
Work out your Salvation with Fear and trembling...it is a fearful thing to Fall in the hand of an angry God. For God has provided all that pertains to life and godliness for those who fear Him.
