I was heading to San Diego and the plane was caught in a little bit of turbulence. This was not the first time that I experienced turbulence but like every unique situation that is repeated or a book that is read more than once or even a movie that is watched a third time; there is always something that strikes you unexpectedly. It was always there but we never noticed it before.
As the plane pierced through the turbulence for a few seconds, the pilot announced
"due to the turbulence,
we are going to go up a little bit higher
but we are advising all passengers to be seated at this time
and fasten your seat belts until the seat belt sign is turned off".
This struck me like a tonne of bricks because as humans we tend to run to and through the turbulence. We ostracize people avoiding conversations and situations but just like this pilot who spotted the trouble ahead, he decided to take us a little bit higher.
The person on the outside is able to stand afar and look at a situation without any involvement in the problem. God wants us to come up higher, watch him operate while being seated until He gives us the go ahead to continue on our journey.
As you go through this week; your life, let's operate above our problems. Let God pull you up and watch His grace work. Come on up a little bit higher and stop seeing yourself lower than God sees you. You are experiencing turbulence but until you go higher, you will continue to allow damage to yourself. Come on up!
"From the end of the earth
will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed:
lead me to the rock that is higher than I."
Psalm 61:2
