Faith in life

Today I was outside with my 5 year old daughter. She is trying to ride a bike without training wheels. My 6 year old did this last year, and I just about cried when she did this. This is a passage that is a milestone in their lives. They are no longer little kids, they do not need the security of the training wheels. They are riding on the faith they can keep the bike up all by themselves. The 6 year old does it really good now, but the 5 year old does not really have. She is trying and falling. I watch her from a not really far distance. She is trying and getting frustrated, much like most of us do with life.
We do what we think is the right thing to do, we cling to that thought that we have the understanding of what the best thing to do is. We know our lives and know what needs to happen. Do you remember riding a bike with training wheels, depending on something to hold you up and keep you from leaning too far to the left or the right? Isn’t that what God will do for us? Now I do not want to be little God to being training wheels, as being something we can out grow, but I do see how God keeps us on track and helps to keep us up, when we do not have the strength to do it ourselves. God will guide you. Step out on faith and try to peddle that bike, but know unlike the real bike my kids ride that I will be taking the training wheels off of, God will never let us take Him off of us. He will always guide us. Just reach out on faith and believe He will not drop you.
