  • You Like an Airplane
    Thursday, March 25, 2021
     
    Believers and airplanes... what do they have in common? Airplanes are unique among all transportation. You can stop a horse, you can stop a car, and all of them will simply stop and stay there. But if you try to stop a plane in mid-air, the plane will descend and crash. Further a horse can back up, a car can back up, but a plane can't. So for a plane, there's no backing up, and there's no standing still. So it is for a believer. Other people can back up, but you can't. Your walk in God has no provision for backing up. That's why, when you start going backwards you're so miserable. Maybe your walk isn't going anywhere and hasn't been going anywhere for a while. Don't let it crash. Turn on your spiritual engines and start moving forward. For Paul wrote, 'But this I do, forgetting what lies behind, and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Messiah Yeshiva, Jesus. You, my friend, are like an airplane. Press on, press on, press on, and you'll find yourself flying in the heavenliest.
    From Message #910 - The Upward Call
     
    Today's Mission
    Think of a way to move a step forward in the Lord today - and go forward (especially in an area where you may have been slipping backward)
