An attitude adjustment (3)

When it comes to having the right attitude, stay in touch with the control tower. Air traffic controllers see the big picture when it comes to what’s going on in the sky. They have the knowledge and authority to tell pilots to slow down or speed up, fly higher or lower, avoid or navigate through storms, or take alternate routes. Amazingly, air traffic controllers in the United States handle some 87,000 flights every day and 64 million takeoffs and landings every year. They manage commercial flights, private aviation, military, and cargo air traffic, as well as air taxis. In fact, if all the flights air traffic controllers handled at any given time were to be posted in airports, more than 460 monitors would be needed! With so many flights taking off and landing every second, pilots have to stay in touch with the control tower. Similarly, you must stay in touch with God—the One who sees the big picture for your life and orchestrates everything that involves you. He makes sure everything that needs to happen, happens at the right time and moves at the appropriate speed to make sure you arrive safely at the destination He’s planned for you. That’s why staying in communication with God should be at the top of your daily to-do list. He will help you navigate the ups and downs of life, and find your way through cloudy days when you can‘t see the next step you need to take. In short, when you “seek his will in all you do…he will show you which path to take.”
