Sixty seven year old Vijaypat singhania’s record breaking balloon ride is a challenge to both young and old.  On 26th November this industrialist-aviator climbed to 69,852 ft in hot air balloon, breaking the 17 year record of 64,997 ft by U.K. based Per Lindstrand.
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; BORDER-LEFT: medium none;

He congratulated Singhania but pledged to break this record very shortly.
See the adventurous and competitive spirit of these men, that too when they are even advanced in years.

Bible says that every believer has been given a specific gift by the sovereign will of God for the service in the body of Christ, thus all of us are unique and we do not compete with one another. We only need to fulfil the specific role the Lord has graciously given us in the body of Christ.

mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-padding-alt: 1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt">            That doesn’t mean that we should avoid any effort to excel and climb to a higher level in our life and service.  Sad to note that though we do every thing to get to the top in the secular field we do little to grow in spiritual life. We are not bold enough to take steps of faith to grow. As a result often our life and service remains average or even below that. We have failed to make an impact, failed to inspire, set an example or a challenge for others in relation to spiritual life.
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: medium none; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 0in;
BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-padding-alt: 1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt">            Consider the exhortation of Paul, “Never be lacking in zeal, but keep you spiritual fervour serving the Lord”. Rom.12:11. We should always desire and labour to go up even breaking records!   The Lord hates complacency in a Christian’s life.  To the luke-warm Laodiceans He commands, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.”Rev.3:19

solid windowtext .5pt; mso-padding-alt: 1.0pt 4.0pt 1.0pt 4.0pt">            Growth in any area demands change. For change to take place one should dream, desire and courageously take innovative steps by faith. Break the status quo.
