A Lesson to Learn from a Daredevil and His Faith

Sometimes we all feel as if we can be daredevils in some way or another.  But do you ever put your faith first before you thought you could succeed any obstacles?

For a true daredevil, Nikolas "Nik" Wallenda a seventh-generation member of the ever famous The Flying Wallendas now holds eight Guinness World Records for his acrobatically dare deviling adventures.

On Sunday June 23rd 2013, he has shown the world what drives him and keeps him fearless.
Nik draws his strength through his faith.
If you watched the live Discovery Channel of the Grand Canyon walk you could hear Nik on the tight line praising Jesus. 
Prayers of a desperate but believing Christian man calling out to Jesus in praise and worship chant. 
"Thank You Jesus for this beautiful view." as he crosses the large 1,500 ft. long crater equaling to approximately 4 football fields straight across the jagged edges of the canyon on a cold dusty 2 inch steel wire extending from one side of the Grand Canyon's 'Hell Hole" to the other.

"Praise you God.... Praise you Jesus."  Nik spoke out loud while wearing a live microphone that enables his father and the audience to hear of his description of the crossing as his father cheers him on.  However, he only let us know a few details, on account that he needed to focus on his courageous stunt.

Before the crossing, Nik and his family with a special guest Joel Osteen stood on the side of the canyon and prayed for 15 minutes.  For protection and for favor.  It certainly worked. 

You could tell at this moment Jesus had given Nik more courage to cross.  Ceratinly Nik believed that Jesus is his rock from the beginning to the end of this crossing and in all he has accomplished thus far.

It was intense for the audiance as it was for Nik, there were times when you thought something would go wrong as you can watch the winds whipping Nik's jeans and blue shirt from side to side in result for Nik to stop twice as the high wire kept swaying.

Nik prayed out nervoulsy... "Help me to relax Lord, help me Jesus to relax, thank you oh wonderful King of Kings, calm it down, thank you Lord.” 

As mid-range Nik had to stop and sit still as the winds continue to rock the high wire, then he stood up and continued to finished his triumph,  he looked up as if he could see Jesus at the end of the line and saying "trust in me, come forward to me."
