Trusting the Pilot

 

January 8 from my journal...…..Trusting the Pilot

A winter storm is howling at BWI Airport in Baltimore. My flight to Tampa is delayed as crews plow the runways. Finally it is our turn to take-off. While I pray the plane roars down that snowy runway and up into the swirling storm clouds. The aircraft shutters and shakes until we climb above the storm. It is a smooth flight to Tampa.

When I entered that plane I had totally given up control and put my life in the hands of that pilot.

So why struggle giving the controls of my life to the Lord? Why can't I trust God to pilot my life’s journey? After all, who has had more experience?

"Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)

ps I have done that and trusting God has made all the difference.
