A friend wrote to me recently recalling a vision that she had had some years ago in which she was hanging on to the end of a rope, way up in the clouds high above the ground. She was terrified because, although she was holding on to the rope as tightly as she could, the rope was fraying rapidly.
Eventually she was just hanging on by the few remaining threads and knew that when the rope finally broke, she would crash to the ground.
But the end of the dream was totally unexpected. The rope broke and she assumed that this would be the end of her – but indeed she found herself flying!
With times so hard for countless people, and so many feeling desolate and desperate, we called this piece ‘The End of the Rope.’ It could equally as well have been ‘Hanging on by a thread!’
Let's play and pray this on behalf of many who are feeling under great pressure at this time, and in need of a very deep touch and series of miracles from the Lord Jesus. Thomas Herzog is the oboist in this rendering of a piece by the English composer John Baston.
