How wonderful it was to hear some genuinely good news in the media! Yesterday, after a “double bird strike” knocked out both engines of his Airbus 320 aircraft, US Airways pilot Chesley Sullenberger made an emergency landing on the Hudson River, saving all 155 people aboard. They are calling it the “Hudson River Miracle” and Captain Sullenberger is being honored as a national hero.

The passengers on that flight are no doubt thankful beyond words to have had an extremely experienced pilot flying their airplane. Despite past training, not every pilot would have reacted as swiftly, calmly, and with such astounding wisdom and precision as Captain “Sully” did in those crucial moments when so many lives were at stake. Thank God for Captain Sully! 

Speaking of God, I am wondering…who is the pilot of your airplane, the airplane that is your life?

Think about it. Are you trying to fly your plane yourself? Wouldn’t it make more sense to entrust yourself to someone who can see with far greater clarity and vision exactly where you are headed and what dangers lie ahead? Are you content to rely solely on your own wisdom and experience, when instead you could be trusting in someone whose wisdom and experience is not limited to that which you have gleaned along your life’s path? 

When push comes to shove and the going truly gets tough (as it did for those passengers yesterday), do you want someone in addition to yourself to rely on–someone who has your best interests in mind? If so, it just may be time to turn your life over to God. It is as simple as asking Him to be the pilot of your life.
