All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. - 2 Timothy 3:16 (NRSV) Todays Devotional Recently, I flew to a small town in Alaska — a beautiful land of snow, ice, moose, and bear. I had hoped it would be a clear day so I could see a glacier or two or maybe a herd of moose or caribou. Instead, it was snowing, and the dark grey day offered little visibility. The plane was small, with no door between us and the pilots. As I looked up where the pilots sat, I realized that for the entire flight they could not see anything through their windshield. Instead, they relied on their instruments to guide our flight. I could not help but think about how we act and react when we are going through the storms and turmoil of life and cannot see the future. When we cannot see how we are going to make it, we can trust what we know to be true: God is with us. God hears our prayers, sees our tears, and wants to guide us. Just as those pilots could not see what was ahead of them, we can’t see the future; but we can trust the guidance we find in God’s word. My thoughts: Good men and women of Christ as members of the body of Christ we are under attack more from the enemy because we are yearning to be closer to God and the enemy wants to keeps us from that closer intimacy with God because he knows the power that is possessed. Our journey is less traveled because it is a commitment within a sacrifice to follow God with no question or doubt in your heart. We must remember that while going through turmoil we must pray, praise, and fast in the valley to get to the glory that God has for us. You have to be broke to be made whole!
