Daily Devotional #1850

There was a guy who was taking flying lessons and learned to trust his instructor. He said “Some years ago  when I was learning to fly, my instructor told me to put the plane into a steep and extended dive. I was totally  unprepared for what was about to happen. After a brief time the engine stalled, and the plane began to plunge  out-of-control. It soon became evident that the instructor was not going to help me at all. After a few seconds,  which seemed like eternity, my mind began to function again. I quickly corrected the situation. Immediately I  turned to the instructor and began to vent my fearful frustrations on him.  
He very calmly said to me, "There is no position you can get this airplane into that I cannot get you out of. If  you want to learn to fly, go up there and do it again." At that moment God seemed to be saying to me,  ‘Remember this. As you serve Me, there is no situation you can get yourself into that I cannot get you out of. If  you trust me, you will be all right.’" There are going to be times when you are frustrated, hurting, scared or just  ready to give up. Remember that God is there telling you that there is no situation that you find yourself in that  God cannot get you out of. Finances, physical wounding, broken heart, loneliness, or just plain fear…God can  handle it. When you are afraid…and you are now or you will be at some point in the future, tell God “I will put  my trust in you”. God has made you a promise…you are going to make it. Trust in God and tell your fear “I  trust in God, so why should I be afraid?” And remember you can trust him because he loves you more than  anyone ever has or ever could. Here’s our Bible verse for today…  
 Psalms 56:3-4 NLT But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. (4) I praise God for what he has  promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me?  
Remember I’m praying for you…
