The Invisible Bridge

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Harrison Ford's character stands at the edge of an impossibly deep chasm. On the other side is the chamber holding the Holy Grail — the only thing that can save his dying father. His father's journal promises a "leap of faith," but Indy's eyes see nothing but empty air and a hundred-foot drop.

He closes his eyes. He lifts his foot. He steps out.

And his boot finds solid stone. An invisible bridge, perfectly placed, has been there all along — waiting for someone willing to trust before they could see.

That image captures something profound about biblical trust. The Hebrew word batach, often translated "trust" in the Psalms, carries the idea of resting your full weight on something — leaning in completely, not hovering with one foot on safer ground.

Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding. But our minds keep scanning for the bridge. We want to see it first, then step. The Most High often asks us to step first, then see.

God doesn't call us to recklessness — He calls us to act on what we already know of His character. Every time He has been faithful before is an invitation to take the next step, even when the path isn't visible yet. The bridge was always there. It just required someone willing to lift their foot.

Where is the Lord asking you to step out today?
