Jehovah: Our Ever-Reliable Pilot


A friend of mine played this video clip and I couldn’t stop laughing. A pilot played a cruel prank on his friend by pretending to faint in the middle of their flight! The alarm in his friend’s voice is what is so hilarious. It starts off calmly and soon becomes an incomprehensible shriek that accurately depicts the man’s realisation that the plane is not being controlled by anyone and a crash was inevitable.
It’s easy to sit in the comfort and safety of our homes and laugh at the man’s predicament but I would have probably screamed louder than he did if I were in his shoes. As I thought about the video clip, I began to imagine what it would be like if we had a God who falls asleep or slumbers once in a while. What if the pilot of our destinies suddenly took His watchful eye of the ball? We would all react in panic and terror because a crash of epic proportions is inevitable when God is not in the driving seat of our lives.
He knows where He is taking us because He said He has specific plans for us. He is also a God who neither sleeps nor slumbers. His eye is on the sparrow let alone a priceless child of His. Aren’t you glad we serve a reliable Pilot like Jehovah? Thank you for watching over us and directing our paths Lord.
