Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
we are living in a very uncertain time and I have no doubt that God is preparing us for some possible scary times. The title of this short message is Suddenly (unexpectedly), there was an article in the newspaper concerning an airplane on a routine flight, when suddenly:
‘It felt like we dropped 50 stories in an out of control elevator’: 24 people injured on a JetBlue plane after air-turbulence bounces them around so hard their heads ‘left dents in the roof’
The airplane dropped 50 stories, having been on flights that didn’t go exactly as planned I understand the emotions that must have flooded the passengers on the airplane. Immediately there was fear, fear of the unknown. When you get on the flight you have a certain expectation of arriving at your destination without incident. When suddenly something like this happen, fear grips your heart, your mind begins to race, how can I get out of this situation, and then hopelessness when you realize there is nothing you can do.
I am not saying that there is going to be a Suddenly in your life, but the possibility of it happening is always right in front of us. I believe that God has been preparing us for such a time, we have been doing studies of faith on Wednesdays, and now God has brought us to a place of learning to trust Him. Whatever happens know that God’s will for you is to have such a knowledge and love for Him, that you will truly lean on Him for all your needs, whether it be a normal flight or one that has a suddenly in it. Either way you are not moved from your faith and trust in Him.
Your brother in Christ
PD
