Song: He Will Pilot Me
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-8
Recently I boarded a plane I’d never seen, built by people I’d never met, piloted by a man I’d never known. We dangled above the earth on strings I couldn’t see, over country I couldn’t identify, at a speed I couldn’t fathom, to a destination unfamiliar.
We put our trust in nuts and bolts, in flesh and blood, in forces we can’t even see and which few understand. Oh, that we had like faith in God!
“Trust in the Lord”—Mechanics forget to tighten bolts and pilots have sleepless nights. The Lord never forgets and He never tires.
“Lean not on your own understanding”—I assume there’s a reason why we fly seven miles high. God has His reasons and they’re always good.
“In all your ways acknowledge Him”—Not just during turbulence but when the flight is smooth too.
“He shall direct your paths”—The skies are not always friendly but God knows the safest route.
“Don’t be wise in your own eyes”—Floating seat cushions are poor life insurance when flying over terra firma. Anybody can see that.
“Fear the Lord and depart from evil”—There never was a safe arrival that was not preceded by a successful departure.
“It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones”—Fasten your seat belt. Return your seat and tray table to an upright and locked position. Stay in your seat. Leave the navigating up to God.
