Today most commercial flying is done on a radio beam. A directional beam is produced to guide the pilot to his destination, and as long as he keeps on this beam he knows that he is safe, even if he cannot see around him for fog, or get his bearings in any other way. As soon as he gets off the beam in any direction he is in danger, and he immediately tries to get back on the beam.
Those who believe in the Allness of God, have a spiritual beam upon which to navigate.
You are off the beam the moment you are angry or resentful or jealous or frightened or depressed; and when such a condition arises you should immediately get back on the beam by turning quietly to God in thought, claiming His Presence, claiming that His Love and Intelligence are with you, and that the promises in the Bible are true today. You are back on the beam and you will reach port in safety.
Keep on the beam and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
For this God is our God for ever and ever. He will be our guide even unto death. (Psalm 48:14).
There are so many things that can cause us to get off the beam. Some never turn on their radio and have no relationship with God so they have no beam at all. Some allow life’s static to block the beam and they get off course by listening to the interference rather than the beam. Others just decide to ignore the beam, plot their own course and end up lost and without a course that gets them to their destination.
But for those who turn on the radio and commune with God, ignore life’s background noise and return to the beam when they stray, those people will reach the destination God established for them by staying the course God plotted. So whether navigating through the fog of doubt, the storms of anger or the static of stress, those who stay on the beam will arrive at their garden in safety, peace and joy.
Happy flying,
