The altimeters in an airplane are important because they tell the pilot how high they are flying. That’s important because you want to make sure you are flying higher than any other thing on the ground like mountains or other airplanes in the air! I was reading the other day that the thing about the altimeters is that they have to be reset on the ground before you take off. If your airport is 300 feet in altitude, you need to make that adjustment. And if you should be at an airport where it is 4,000 feet in altitude, you really have to make a huge adjustment. If you don’t, the altimeter will give you a false idea of where you are in the sky and what dangers are actually out there. The result could be a crash into a peak or even run into another aircraft when you think that you are at different altitudes. I thought about that. It is kind of like that with our lives. If we go about our lives with our own idea of what is good and right and even real, we just might be wrong and our idea of life may not correspond with the reality that is out there. For us as humans, God says that he is the determiner of what is really good, what is truly real and what is going to bring you contentment and peace. When we look at life through the lens of God’s Bible, we see the world, the people around us and our own lives in a different way. God takes that and resets not an mechanical instrument, but our hearts. It changes the way we think and act and even dream. The pilot who neglects to make that adjustment to his altimeter assumes that all is fine and the hills and mountains will pass way below and all the other aircraft will be safely above or below them. And they don’t know they are wrong until it is too late. Let God make that adjustment to your heart and mind through his Word. And then your heart will be set to not only believe and trust this God of the Bible, but to live well as you copy his love and kindness. So get that heart adjusted rightly before you take off into your life today. Get that
heart set at the right altitude and attitude and keep safe on your journey that God will send you on today. Enjoy life and all that God brings into it knowing that you are flying safely in his care. Here’s our Bible verse for today…
Mark 7:21 NLT For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
Remember I’m praying for you!
