It was just another afternoon, the weather was beautiful,
and 80 year old John Collins and his wife Helen decided to take an afternoon
flight in their family’s plane. However, the flight didn’t go as planned; John Collins
had a heart attack, and wife, Helen was left to fly the plane. The problem was
that she didn’t have a pilot’s license. She had flown for years beside her
husband; she had even taken the controls in the air before, however she
eventually had to land. When Helen radioed the tower and informed them of her
situation, pilot Robert Vuksanovic scrambled a plane and flew beside her as he
relayed instructions to her on how to land the plane. 81 year old Helen Collins
was able to successfully land the plane on the runway by using the instructions that Vuksanovic had given.
Just as Vuksanovic relayed instructions of how to fly as he
flew in a plane beside Helen Collins, God has relayed us intructions of how to
fly through life through his Holy Word. The Bible gives us instructions
regarding Christian living, salvation, and “all
things that pertain to life and Godliness" (2 Peter 1:3). The Bible shows
us exactly how to live our lives in a way where we can land our “spiritual
plane” in eternity in Heaven with our God. Are we listening to the instructions
from God which tells us how to land our plane?
Are we:
1) Studying the Instructions?
AND
2) Following the Instructions?
The Bible tells us that “without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must
believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). Do we have that faith to trust and obey as God relays us
instruction of how to land our plane in eternity with him?
