In 1968, an 18-year-old French teenager became obsessed with a passion for walking on a tightrope between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. To accomplish this daunting task, he assembled a whole cadre of allies (engineers, workers, and occupants) sharing his daring plan, carefully selecting equipment, ropes, cables, securing devices. On August 7, 1974, the 24-year-old Frenchman performed the artistic crime of the century, walking 45 minutes on the tightrope, completing an impossible-looking feat which completed six years of careful, meticulous planning. Like this young man, we must know both where we are starting and where we are going, having absolute faith that we will get there. If we do, taking that last step will be as certain as the first. Our Great God has carefully and excitedly planned the project of expanding His family that is going to be working together for eternity to accomplish things we cannot even begin to imagine. The Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day has given God's called-out saints the privilege to focus on God's huge project and the responsibilities God has given to each one of us within it right now, while we keep our eyes fixed above the clouds on our King of Kings.
