I don’t like to fly. I’ll get on a plane if I have to, but I don’t like it. The thought of being in a plane crash is terrifying to me. I try not to worry about it, but I always breathe a tremendous sigh of relief when we touch down on the runway. I know plane crashes are rare, but it only takes one. I guess what really scares me is putting my life in the hands of a pilot I know nothing about.
Kind of like putting your life in the hands of God, even though we understand so little about Him. It can be scary to depend on someone we don’t see, to trust Him to design our lives, especially when He steers us in directions we are not comfortable with.
It can be a bumpy ride. You can expect some turbulence now and then. But the airplane pilot usually finds a way to get you to your destination. Being obedient to God will get you to your ultimate destination.
