Who's Piloting Your Craft?

Boy...I sure can be like a little child in the cockpit...fascinated by all the dials and gauges and yet having absolutely no clue as to what they are all about! If I were to try and fly a plane...oh boy! IF we even got off the ground, we probably would not stay in the air...or make it back down safely!

Nope! If I have to fly somewhere, I will let someone ELSE do the piloting, thank you! Someone who is trained. Someone who knows how to fly and where we are going. I don't want someone who does not know about the aircraft or how to get to our destination to try and fly me there. That includes me! I want to know that I am in capable hands.

Most of us would not even consider getting into an airplane flown by someone who is obviously untrained, inexperienced and lacking in knowledge. I don't know of anyone who would attempt to fly himself or herself without training and experience. Clearly, the best choice is to stick with a reputable airline that uses trained personnel. That is the obvious choice, right? People are not typically going to put their physical lives in that kind of danger!

Yet, we are also on a journey of far greater importance! A journey called "life". We are all headed to a destination...a destination we will arrive at after we die. The question is...are we placing our spiritual lives into the hands of Someone who knows about the destination choices? Someone who knows how to get us there safely?

We can rely upon the so called "wisdom" of humans...or...we can turn to the One who made us and let Him guide us there. I don't know about you...but I am not going to entrust my spiritual wellbeing to anyone other than the One whom I know is capable of getting me through life and safely to my final destination any more than I would entrust my physical wellbeing to someone who is not capable of flying the plane!

There is only One who is that capable...the One who made all the universe...including little old me. Yahweh God, His Son Yeshua/Jesus and His Spirit. They are getting me through this life. They will bring me safely to my final destination. What is my destination? Well, the one Yahweh created me for! The one He created for me!

Who Loves You?

We were at an air show and saw two planes making a giant heart in the sky. What a wonderful thing...to see such a sign of love proclaimed in the heavens! This sign was done by two human pilots. It is easy to see...very clear...very obvious.

I wonder how many times we miss the other signs of love in the heavens...the ones written by Yahweh God's divine hands. He created a whole universe for us to live in and enjoy. He made our beautiful planet so precisely, according to what our human bodies needed to live. Why? He does not need us. He is Yahweh God. We are mere humans. He had no reason other than He wanted a heart/love connection with us.

Then...we blew it. The first man and woman wanted more and disobeyed Yahweh God. How sad. It was a perfect beautiful world and they were not satisfied with that. Their disobedience brought consequences that we see in the world today. Evil came in and the heart connection between us and Him was broken. The heart connection we have with each other is broken.

Yet, Yahweh loves us sooooo much that He made a way for us to be reconnected with Him. He gave us Yeshua. There is a price for wrong doing...and the price was too great for us to ever be able to pay. So, our loving Yahweh sent His Son to pay that price for us. What an incredible gift!

Go figure! Humans blow it. Humans disobey. Humans break that heart connection with their Creator. Humans earn a penalty for their actions. Yet, Yeshua pays it all for us. Why? Out of love. There is no other reason! Simply love. That same love will some day bring about a new heaven and a new earth where the evil and brokenness will be no more!
