The Act of Balancing

Last night was the first night of America’s Got Talent for this season. I personally think this season is going to be the best one yet. There was some pretty great talent shown last night while some of the ones shown weren’t as great. But one act in particular stuck out to me the most.

It was a hand balancing at. I’m not going to attempt to pronounce or even spell his name. But he had a son with him who was his assistant named Carlos.

This man would balance on his hands on poles. Once he was good and balanced on the first set of poles, his assistant would throw another pole at him and he would stack that pole on top of the other ones. Making himself taller. And without using anything  but his hands, he would continue to balance on them while his assistant kept throwing more and more poles at him to where he was touching the lights on the ceiling. That’s pretty high up there.

Why does that one stick out to me?

Because that’s how we do with life. We try to balance it all on our own. But without God’s help we can’t do it on our own. As we continue to go through everyday life, God keeps giving us the tools that we need to keep climbing. Just like the assistant. He kept throwing the poles to the balancer and the balancer would keep climbing. How high up would he have been able to go without his assistant? Not very high because he wouldn’t have anyone to throw him the poles. As long as we keep relying on God, He will continue to give us the tools that we need to go through life. How far are we going to be able to go without God? Not very far.
