Take Flight

Every day there are thousands of flights that travel the world. Flying has always been one of my biggest fears, yet I do it quite frequently. However, it is one of the most intriguing things that has always amazed me. The events that occurred during 911 and how all those planes had to be grounded had to be a nightmare. Air traffic controllers gained a new respect from me on that day and the years that followed after that. Their job has to be stressful to know  every flight pattern, when to land and when to take off and every specific time frame to make that happen.

When you think of all the flights that travel each and every day, I think about God as our air traffic controller. Though we cannot see Him, He has a major job of keeping track of all His people each and every day. So many times in our life, we start out on a journey and try to fly through the journey on our flight pattern and not His. Just as we have no control over where our plane is going when we board, God already has planned out a flight pattern for each of us. It is up to us to trust His plan.

What an awesome God we serve when you think about all the people that He has to coordinate plans for and all the logistics of our crazy lives that He has to figure out. Some of our flight plans are totally different each day. The people we meet, the situations in which we face and the places where He calls to go all shape where we end up according to His plan.

So the next time you take flight, look out the window and think about how wonderful our God is and how He is control of how we choose to fly each and every day....

Who is controlling how you fly today??? Spread those wings and trust and listen to Him.
