Prov. 3:5-6
‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths’.

DAILY READING – Revelation 21-22; Isaiah 9-10; Psalm 111

In 2001, many news outlets reported the amazing story of Pilot Robert Piche who safely landed an aircraft after flying 80 miles on zero fuel. On August 4, 2001, his plane took off on a late-night flight from Toronto to Lisbon.

The plane was fully fueled and flew normally for the first four hours of its flight. However, unknown to the pilot, the fuel line to the engine had ruptured and was leaking. By the time the pilot noticed what was wrong, the plane had lost power to the right engine due to the fuel leakage. Just a few minutes later, the left engine failed, too. With zero fuel in the plane, Pilot Robert Piché had to apply all his expertise and knowledge of flying to prevent a crash. Maximizing use of the instrument panel, he managed to maneuver the plane into a glide. And for the next 80 miles, the plane glided without fuel and without a functional engine.

The plane eventually had a rough landing on a remote island, with no brakes, the landing gear locked up and 8 tires deflated.
Except for a few injuries, all crew and passengers survived. Through God’s grace, a fatal crash was avoided.
As a result of this incident, today, Pilot Robert Piche holds the world record for the longest glider flight of a commercial aircraft in history.

Knowing what to do in a crisis situation enabled this pilot to safely land his plane under most difficult conditions. Likewise, spiritual knowledge is indispensable in our flight of destiny. When you know what to do when challenged, you will always triumph.

Just Iike the pilot’s knowledge of his plane’s instrument saved the day, spiritually, our understanding of the “instruments” of God’s Word enables us to survive and soar even in most difficult circumstances.

In the flight of destiny, we will occasionally encounter unforeseen and unexpected events. But as we strictly adhere to the instructions of scriptures, we will always emerge victorious.

A believer who lacks proper knowledge of the Word will be thrown off balance in times of sudden challenges, but they that do know their God will be strong and do exploits.

It is therefore important for us to daily build up our spiritual knowledge because the battles of life have no timetable. Oftentimes, they come suddenly, when least expected. However, when we trust in the Lord and follow His Word, He will always direct our paths.

Prov. 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart, and lean not on our own understanding; in all our ways, as we acknowledge Him, He shall direct our paths.

To successfully navigate through life, you need to wholly trust in the Lord. You cannot afford to rely on your senses or trust other people’s opinions, because even sincere people can be sincerely wrong. We must discipline ourselves to base our decisions only on the Scriptures.

Certainly, God’s Word never fails, His counsel stands sure forever. He upholds all things by the Word of His power. As long as we keep holding on to His Word, God will also uphold us in every situation.
His Word will be fulfilled no matter how tough the circumstances. Indeed
God never breaks covenant nor alters what has gone out of His lips.
Therefore, in this season, as we hold on to the Word and continually bless the Lord at all times, we will certainly see a speedy fulfillment of His promises in our lives.

PRAYER
Lord, please enable me to follow the instructions of Scriptures at all times. Please grant me the grace to diligently study Your Word so as to build up my spiritual understanding and always triumph in every circumstance in Jesus Name.
