Careful
Steve Green
who sang six
years with Bill and Gloria Gaither
tells about getting to know some of the
work crews in the large auditoriums where their concerts were held. The
Gaithers prefer concerts-in-the-round
which means extra work for the
"riggers
" who walk the four-inch rafter beams--often a hundred feet
above the concrete floor--to hang sound speakers and spotlights. For such work
understandably
they are very well paid.
"The fellows I talked
to weren't bothered by the sight of looking down a hundred feet
" says
Green. "What they DIDN'T like
they said
were jobs in buildings that had
false ceilings-- acoustical tile slung just a couple of feet below the rafters.
They were still high in the air
and if they slipped
their weight would smash
right through the flimsy tile. But their minds seemed to play tricks on them
lulling them into carelessness." Satan's business is not so much in
scaring us to death as persuading us that the danger of a spiritual fall is
minimal. No wonder Peter advised us to "resist him
standing firm in the
faith" (I Peter 5:9).── Source

the rider was lost
being overtaken and slain by the enemy; and for want of
care about a horseshoe nail.── B.
