The captivating true story of Tammie Jo Shults is contained in the book, ‘Nerves of Steel’. Tammie Jo Shults is a devoted Christian who used to be one of American Navy’s few female fighter pilots.
In the early 1990’s, she joined Southwest Airlines as a commercial pilot. Usually before embarking on a flight she would read her Bible and pray for her crew and passengers and commit the journey into God’s hand.
On April 17, 2018, Captain Tammie Jo was flying a Boeing 737 on routine domestic flight from New York to Dallas when an engine failure almost caused the plane to crash.
But in that moment of crisis, Captain Tammie Jo displayed such great strength that amazed many people. When there was an explosion and the aircraft began to shudder violently and the cockpit was filled with smoke, her faith in God remained firm and unshakeable.
As the aircraft rolled over and began initiating a dive toward the ground, passengers screamed, cried and prayed. By God’s grace, Tammy Jo was able to regain control of the plane and made a bold cabin announcement that the plane was not going to crash.
This statement of faith,. gave the terrified passengers renewed hope. With the plane badly damaged, Tammie Jo had just one shot at either landing it or crashing it. God helped her to make that right landing and saved the lives of 148 people on board. When they finally touched down safely at Philadelphia, Tammy Jo was overwhelmed with gratitude to God.
With the media coverage and celebration of her bravery, she continually told everyone that it was God that took over and landed the plane safely.
Tammie’s habit of spending daily time with God, obviously gave her the faith and strength to overcome in that time of crisis.
The more time we spend daily with God, the more we know Him intimately and the more faith is built up in us for victory.
When we seek God daily we are making deposits of faith in our spiritual bank account that we can withdraw from in the day of trouble.
We are living in the last days, which are perilous times. It is a time when the world will be confronted by great trials and temptations. Sometimes the challenges will be so sudden that only those who have taken time to develop their faith will be able to overcome.
Therefore, we need to build up enough strength and power so as not to faint in the day of adversity.
Proverbs 24:10 says ‘If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small’.
When Peter was walking on the water to go to Jesus, he was suddenly confronted by boisterous winds that struck fear into him and he began to sink. Jesus immediately stretched out His hand and caught him, and said, ‘O thou of little faith, wherefore, didst thou doubt?’ (Matthew 14:27-31).
From this passage, we see that little faith and doubt was what made Peter to begin to sink.
It takes great faith to stand and not sink, when confronted with the boisterous winds of life.
To see the invasion of glory in our lives this year will require unshakeable faith. No matter the trials and temptations we must keep standing by faith on God’s promises. Certainly, faith is our greatest guarantee of victory because it will always overcome the world and its challenges.
PRAYER: Lord, Please enable me to accept the responsibility of building up strong faith. By Your grace this is my year to see victory in every confrontation and experience Your glory invasion in every area of my life in Jesus’ name.
