As we stood in Pit Road, my head tilted up and I saw the 100's of thousands of people seated cheering & screaming with excitement as their favorite drivers zoomed around the track. Then my mind went to a scene that was sketched out in the book " A Voice in the Wind." A young girl standing in a stadium, no different than this track, 100's of thousands of people cheering & screaming with excitement as they murdered Christ followers. My heart got a sick feeling as I realized that "real" people in this very "real" setting have died because of their unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Then came the question to my mind... "Would I be so unwavering?"
Of course my initial response was "YES... I would never deny Christ!" Then the gentle yet sharp nudging of the Holy Spirit directed me to all the times daily I "deny" Christ. When I loss my cool, say words that dishonor Him, place judgments on His Children, and refuse to love with the love of Christ. If I can not stand in my kitchen and with unwavering clarity say, "it is for this Christ has died and given me a new life," then how could I be so bold in the center of a stadium with the breathe of the lion breathing down my neck?
