When Faith Takes Flight-Blog

Excerpt from Chapter 1 of “When Faith Takes Flight”:

Yet, in truth, most of us who fly on commercial airliners
know almost nothing about how they actually work. We
don’t have a clue how to operate the controls. There is a maze of instruments and switches in the cockpit. We’ve heard that the air is thin and cold up at thirty thousand feet, and all kinds of complex processes must work just right in order for the flight to proceed safely. Yet we climb on planes all the time and travel places without a second thought.

For those who have a spiritual relationship with God, it works much the same way. We know almost nothing about
God or the universe or how it all really works. We don’t have
a clue as to what the future holds, what heaven is really like, or whether angels are truly working on our behalf. In spite of this, we climb out of bed each day and live as people who have faith in an invisible God. At times, we sense His presence and His providence. Whether or not we are conscious of it, we enjoy His protection and His blessing. At times, we struggle to understand His will for us or His plans for our future. Still, we keep on trusting and cooperating with God if we have that faith relationship.
