Trust Your Pilot

“When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me.’” (Matthew 28:17-18)
Scripture Focus: Matthew 28:16-20

Boarding a commercial airplane could be a scary experience, especially if you spot a fellow passenger who is acting strangely and fits your preconceived image of a terrorist. An equally frightening experience would be seeing a pilot

who doesn’t fit your image of a trustworthy pilot. You want a pilot who inspires confidence. Deep inside I know it doesn’t matter what the pilot looks like if he knows what the instruments look like and how to use them. All that really matters is his ability to have everything under control from takeoff to landing.

I don’t know what God looks like, but I do know He is always in control. He holds all authority in heaven and on earth. Nothing escapes His gaze. Nothing slips from His grasp. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Nothing thwarts His purposes. He protects all who trust in Him, and He will land us safely in heaven some day. We can put our complete confidence in Him, knowing He does all things perfectly.

Insight: You don’t have to fear even the most ominous circumstances if Jesus is your pilot. He knows exactly what He is doing.
