 I will tell you what, this picture reminds me of what a fine line we walk in this world.  Sometimes we get so close to the edge and we are about to go over and it is just amazing.  This guy right here, in his little helmet, and reflective vest, (that’s so as he’s falling you can spot him… [at night that is])  is walking on top of a suspension bridge.  He is walking on what appears to be like a foot and a half of walkable space.  Which granted isn’t all that small, however, in the grand scheme of things, that is pretty scary. 

How many of us walk so close to the line of sin that we are almost dancing on it?  I’ll tell you what, it is unbelievable how sin can sneak up and snatch your life.  When Jesus was being tempted in the wilderness by Satan in Luke 4, there is one verse at the end of the passage that is intriguing.  It is verse 13.  Luke 4:13 “When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.”  An opportune time is when you are walking closest to that line!  We shouldn’t be anywhere near the line.  We should be careful not to be close to the line for fear that we may indeed fall into temptation from Satan the great temptor.  Crazy.  Stay strong, and let me encourage you to stay in the word, and know God’s word so that when temptation comes you can follow Jesus’ example and quote scripture. 

“I have hidden your word in my heart,
      that I might not sin against you.”  Psalm 119:11
