GOD, COPILOT!?

                                                              


 Perhaps (depending on your age) you may remember when "God, CoPilot" was a really popular bumper sticker.  I always thought that it should be the other way around with God being the pilot.  Afterall, why wouldn't we want God to be in control, right?  I decided to actually research both of their roles to see if I was correct.    

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.  Proverbs 3:5 - 6. (NKJV)                                                       

It turns out that pilots and copilots are required to have same abilites and training, however, the pilot has more authority.  Copilots have to be able to take over the operation of the plane in the event that the pilot for some reason became incapacitated or was unavailable to perform his duties. 

God gives each of us the freedom (free will) to chart (pilot) our own courses for our lives, meaning that we are the pilots of our journey.  As a result of sin or some of the choices made, we may sometimes get in spiritual trouble. When we become so busy that our prayer lives are practically nonexistent, we aren't studying the Word, not cultivating and maintaining intimacy with the Lord,  we need help from our copilot to help us get our lives back on course.  

It's official! Yes, God is indeed my copilot!  Who is He to you?  

Blessings.

    I love this Coretta, there must be a oneness with God to allow or welcome Him as our copilate. I enjoyed this. Keep up the good work!

Elohim, The God of Creation

Image
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
