Where’s YOUR balloon?

It’s always nice to see a child holding tight to their birthday balloon… until there attention is shifted to the other toys around or their focus is momentarily changed and… oops… there goes the balloon, straying way up in the air, very far off from the child’s arm… It only takes a split second of inattention to lose sight of God’s promises…

That’s why it is so crucial that we always stay grounded… We cannot become like the helium balloon of a careless child that floats into the sky and get tossed around by the wind to be cast far far away… Our balloon needs to stay attached to the arm of God. It must rise up and never float away. It needs to always be there, close to the spirit of the Lord, to be filled again by His mighty power and love.

Psalm 139:9-10
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

Ephesians 4:14
Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
