“As the electronic eye of the space capsule locks onto its designated star for guidance and maintenance of its heavenly course, so are we to fix our eye of faith on our heavenly position- the Bright and Morning Star. Thus, in fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, we shall find experientially that the path of righteousness is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” (Heb 12:2, Prov 4:18)
I was thinking about the passage here, and how they say an airplane is off course over 90% of the time and that is has to keep adjusting and re-adjusting to try and stay on course. They say it is a wonder that a plane ever arrives at its destination. But, with Christ we don’t have to be off-course as human pilots continually are. With Christ we can lock our eyes on him, and He will keep us on perfect course. He knows the destination, as He is the finisher of our faith, He calls us to stay vertical with Him, despite the swirling, horizontal circumstances of our lives. I think about the imposing storm on the Sea of Galilee, all the earthly chaos spinning about the Apostles as Jesus extends his hand to calm the storm, to set things right, and the fisherman are left asking themselves, “Who is this… that even the winds and waves obey Him.”
