Turbulence

Have you ever been flying? It's a beautiful view right? You almost feel like nothing can touch you. The skies are clear. Then come clouds...clouds can cause some turbulence. In those moments you're trusting the pilot to bring you through those clouds and the rough air to a safe landing right? The same thing goes for our lives. We find ourselves in moments of turbulence and rough wind. These are the times that we stop trusting God (our pilot) and we try to take control of things ourselves. 

Isaiah 41:10 says it best - "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." 

What do you think would happen if we were to try to take the controls aways from the airplane pilot? Not having experience, do you think you would be able to safely bring it through to the other side as well as the trained pilot could? This is what we do in our lives, trying to take things out of God's hands and put it in our own. We don't really know what we are doing. In these moments we need to lean on God to bring us through those clouds and turbulence. God has the landing pad ready for us he's just waiting for us to let go of the controls and let him take it. 

Give all your worries and fears to the Lord and he will give you a safe landing.
