This man set the world speed record for motorcycles in 1940. If you really want to get a laugh, download the picture. I love motorcycles, and have his picture above my desk. Here he is on a rare 1000cc Vincent HRD “Black Lightening.” But that is not the funny part. He is stripped down to a bathing suit, shower cap, and slippers, at 150.313 M.P.H.
He dressed like that to reduce drag, but I keep it in front of me because if you did not know the background, and say the picture for the first time, it just looks like a guy that was hanging on for dear life against his will!
Life does feel that way at times; a high-speed ride. A ride in which if we step away, and give up on, would surely result in disaster! It looks as if the windy ride stripped every non-essential thing away from him, and you think he must really be scared!
The real story is he is having the time of his life. So let’s gets down to you and me. Everybody needs deep rest, not only of the body, but of our eternal souls as well, as we fly through this life. The same Lord who saved us also provides everything we need to be “more than conquerors in Christ.” Romans 8:37.
It all gets down to how well we are “equipped” for this life. When natural talents fail, (and they will,) you have all these resources in Christ. It would be ashamed to not know we have them, or not know how to use them to fulfill our destiny in Christ. Can we really be at peace and sense the power of Christ in our lives while flying through this life? The answer is a resounding, “Yes.” Read all of Romans 8 today. Choose to read it over all the other things you feel pressured to do. Ask the Lord to help you realize the resources you have. JWP
