Just a thought to help start your week.

Very recently, I was driving my car down the highway, literally praying as I went that nothing or no one appeared in front of me.  The fog was so thick I could barely see the lines on the road.  I simply had to trust that I would get where I was going.

From time to time, my wife and I travel by airplane.  I snapped this photo from my window seat on one such flight.  The clouds were so thick in the air surrounding our plane that I was certainly thankful I wasn’t the one having to pilot that very large machine.  It was indeed an eerie scene from inside the plane, but we merely had to trust that the pilots and their equipment would get us safely where we were going.

Do you ever step out of the house on Monday morning, or maybe just get out of the bed on any given morning of the week, and you can’t see the end of the week for the “fog” in your mind?  Your calendar is full.  Your days are chaotic.  Perhaps you have the demands of family, employment, and even church weighing heavily upon you, and you have no idea how you’ll accomplish all you need to accomplish.  You can barely see the proverbial lines beside you or the end of the airplane wing because of the thick cloud of uncertainty, unpleasantries, and perhaps even fear that surround you.  You briefly enter panic mode.

But, you must remember that God is in control!  Have you ever seen one of those bumper stickers that says, “God is my co-pilot?”  Well, that’s a very dangerous statement!  If God is the co-pilot, then it means you are the pilot!  You best switch seats to avoid impending disaster!

Trust the Lord to pilot you, lead you, guide you, carry you, and protect you through the foggy cloudy days of uncertainty in today’s world.  For the Christian, we have a guarantee of arriving safely at our final destination!
