Heaven's reach

What kind of rope can the Lord throw from Heaven that we can grasp?  What kind of rope can the Lord throw from Heaven that He can use to pull us to safety?  
What kind of glue can the Lord use to attach the glory of His Kingdom to these shells of skin and bone that cover our spiritual identity?
What kind of wire can the power of God be transmitted over to reach us,  when we are familiar with cables, fiber optics and radio?

We live in a world that can be seen and touched but our destiny lies beyond in a place that transcends our senses.  

How are we connected to the Lord?

Faith is the way.  It is the rope that is sure and within our reach.  It is the glue that bonds us tight to His chest.  It is the wire  that has an origin in God's mind and heart and a terminal in ours.

This is the invisible rope, glue and wire needed to extend Heaven's arms to Earth's stumbling feet.  Perhaps the greatest miracles cannot be seen.

Jeremiah 38:11 So Ebed-Melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took from there old clothes and old rags, and let them down by ropes into the dungeon to Jeremiah. 12 Then Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, "Please put these old clothes and rags under your armpits, under the ropes." And Jeremiah did so. 13 So they pulled Jeremiah up with ropes and lifted him out of the dungeon
