David Blaine is a freak. If you have never heard of him, let me tell you a little about him. He is a street magician and a guy who does really crazy stunts. Once he was buried alive for a week. Then he was frozen in a block of ice for 3 days, and last week he lived underwater for 7 days in a big fishbowl in the middle of New York City. After breaking that record he tried to break the record for holding your breath underwater. His goal was 9 minutes. He didnt break it, but he held his breath for over 7 minutes while being handcuffed underwater.
Keep in mind that he CHOSE to do all of those things! This guy is nuts. What would possess someone to try these life threatening stunts. I'm not sure, but my guess would be Fame.
It's amazing what lengths people will go to for significance. The need to be known is a pretty basic human need. The reality for David Blaine or any of us is that only in Christ can we have that need for significance met. Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things He planned for long ago.
By the way, I can't wait to see what David's next stunt will be!
