Blondin was a 19th century acrobat, famous for his tightrope act 160 feet above Niagara Falls on a rope which was over a thousand feet long. In 1860 a Royal party from Britain saw Blondin cross the tightrope on stilts, and again blindfolded. After that he stopped halfway and cooked and ate an omelette. Next he wheeled a wheelbarrow from one side to the other, and returned with a sack of potatoes in it.
Then Blondin approached the Royal party. He asked the Duke of Newcastle, "do you believe I could take a man across the tightrope in this wheelbarrow?" "Yes, I do" , said the Duke. "Hop in, then" , replied Blondin.
Well, the Duke declined Blondin's challenge. He might have believed Blondin could do it, but he wasn't about to trust him with his life. When it comes to God, this kind of belief is not much good to him. God is looking for followers who will trust him with their lives. When we are challenged with trials in life,
HOW CAN WE FULLY TRUST IN HIM?
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” –PROVERBS 3:5-6
1. Trust in the Lord with all your heart
When God challenges you to get into that wheelbarrow, are you going to trust in Him with all our heart?
Believing is not enough. Even demons have that kind of faith. They know and believe that God exists (James 2:19) - and tremble.The difference is that, they have no loving confidence in God. We have faith in God- meaning, we believe and have loving confidence in Him. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." He.11:1.We don’t need proofs to have faith in God. When we learn to love God, faith will just come out.We have to Fully trust Him. Trust is the practical outworking of faith: it is when we trust God that we show that our faith in Him is real.

2. Lean not on your own understanding
We think we know better than God, but the reality is that, like Adam and Eve in the beginning, our wisdom and understanding is weak, crooked and unreliable.At first Solomon pleased God and was obedient to him, but then he began to think he knew better than God. He acquired an army for himself and imported horses from Egypt; he accumulated vast amounts of silver and gold and built himself a palace even more opulent than the temple he'd just built. He had 700 wives and 300 concubines. He began to opress the people.The Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding- Proverbs 2:6Lean not on your own understanding. Lean instead on the wisdom of God's word. We need FAITH. Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Ro. 10:17


3. In all your ways acknowledge Him

[Image]God cares not just about your sacred activities but about everything you do. Break the wall and let God be at the center of everything you do.
4. He shall direct your paths
God's path is not the path we would naturally take, and God's idea of a straight path is not necessarily our idea of a straight path.Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
