Putting Your Weight Down

On Dudley's seventy-fifth birthday, there was a pilot in his small town who offered to take Dudley for an airplane ride. Dudley accepted. So for about thirty minutes, they flew over this small town in West Virginia. When they landed, one of the old man's friends asked, "Were you scared, Dudley?" With some hesitation he said, "Well, no, but I never put my full weight down."

When we take our most valuable possessions and give them to God--our money and our children and our spouses--our faith in God grows, and we increasingly put our whole weight down on God.
