LEAP OF FAITH

When changes come, we often blame the enemy if it appears not to line up with our vision.  There are times when our direction, led by the Spirit, takes us places only He can justify for our good, or the good of others.

The son of a Baptist pastor, Jonathan Briley walked to work on September 11, 2001.  He was employed as the sound engineer at the famed Windows of the World restaurant.

On September 11, 2001, at 9:41 a.m., 56 minutes after the ordeal began, Richard Drew, a photojournalist, pointed his lens upward and caught the infamous shot of a man free falling.

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”  1 Corinthians 15:54 NKJV

Amazingly, Briley is vertical, almost casual as he dove headfirst ala Superman – arms by his side, left leg bent at the knee, and his white jacket billowing free against black pants.  This is one amazing photograph we wish we’d never seen.

An asthmatic, Briley was forced to escape the smoke.  He obviously decided to die flying rather than choking.  In a place and time where every option had been taken away, he mustered the courage to step out of the heat and into the hands of God.

His older sister, Gwendolyn, said, “Let me tell you how much Jonathan loved God.  He trusted Him so much; he jumped 105 stories expecting God to catch him.”

Declaration: I will have the courage to trust God when nothing else makes sense.  I know whatever terrible thing I am facing; it pales in comparison to what Jonathan Briley faced.  I will have the courage, just as he did to expect that God will always catch me.
