"Then Shall Thou Delight Thyself In The Lord; And I Will Cause Thee To Ride On The High Places Of The Earth...(Isaiah 58:14)
This picture is so funny I couldn't resist using it for this article. Have you ever been at a place where you feel like you're hangin on to dear life? There are times when life seem to throw a curve ball at you and you begin to wonder if you will ever make it out of this one.
Recently, I was on my way back to Harrisburg after successful ministry trips to Houston and Tulsa, I had to change planes in Cinncinnati but the flight was delayed due to weather conditions. Two hours later as we took off in one of those small shuttle planes I had an irresistible urge to praise God. I took off my headphone and burst out in one of my favorite Sunday Morning praise songs. Initially, the other passengers gave me a casual glance and returned to their business as the flight continued smoothly. Five minutes into my spontaineous praise session, the pilot turned on the fasten seatbelt sign and informed everyone to sit down because of impending turbulence. For the next twenty minutes that small plane rocked like a paper boat in the midst of a storm. The passengers who are all sitting at the edge of their chairs by now suddenly latched onto the songs I was singing as if their lives depended on it. I have said time and again that its hard to find an atheist at 36,000ft. that midnight flight back to Harrisburg proved it again. When we landed not only did I get nods and handshakes as we left the plane but each of person left with a song in their heart I promise you.
Hey! my prayer is that all your air travel will be smooth but if you ever find yourself in a turbulent life situation, rather than pulling hair and chewing nails try Praise! Its amazing how much you can accomplish in a day when you suddenly pause from work and to take a Praise Break!
YOU MIGHT NEED ONE RIGHT NOW!!
