Home Safely

I have been praying for two world travelers of late.  One went to China for three weeks and one went to India and Rome for 3 weeks.  How thankful I am that both are home safely.  In this day and age, air travel is a common thing.  People fly all the time.  Some fly for work constantly. Others are taking vacations.  But every time I fly or a loved one flies, it gives me opportunity to once again place my life in the Lord’s capable hands.

The way I look at is this.  I belong to the Lord, and I am his child.  If He is finished with me…or if my job  here on earth is complete, He may chose to take me to heaven at any time.  If I am on the plane or in a car or wherever.  If however, He is not finished with me than all the people on the plane are safe because God will keep that plane in the air.  

Some may think this is arrogant, but  it really is just practical.  I am still always glad when loved ones get back safely on our shores. The world is an uncertain place and bad things happen to good people.  But I will continue to trust the Lord and His wisdom and goodness.  I am thankful he kept these two people safe and they are home.  This is not a news flash, this is my reality.
