Today’s Thought “Modern Day Kamikaze” G. Ward

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Do you know the name Andreas Lubitz? He was the co-pilot responsible for crashing Germanwings Flight 9525 in the French Alps, killing 150 others. Great speculations have led this into tremendous water cooler talk with the workplace. These speculations mostly translate a great fear as a lack in result from intensive investigation persists. Boarding a plane now invites many to interrogate (visually) the cockpit to the left ensuring that more than one navigator exists.

These occurrences drive fear and ultimately reveal unfaithfulness (cf. Mt.10:28). On the other hand, there’s a confidence that no matter who, what, or where, I’m personally prepared whether calamity or peace exists knowing that earth is not my home. “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also” (Jn.14:1-3).

Good Friday!
