A DELICATE TOUCH! – Proverbs 3:5-6 Devotional
Proverbs 3:5-6
“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.”
The first time I flew in a private aircraft I was blown away at the view I had never seen before. It was just me and the pilot, who was a distant cousin of mine. After we had been flying for fifteen or twenty minutes, he told me to take control.
As I moved the wheel the plane responded more sensitively than I had anticipated. Fortunately my cousin had his own control and we were quickly back on an even keel. He allowed me to retake control and demonstrated that a soft touch on the wheel is all that is required.
Many times in flying with the Lord we are like I was on that day so long ago when I flew with my cousin. We dip and dart because we have not learned the secret of a delicate touch.
It is well for us to stop and evaluate our walk with the Lord. Are we using too strong a control of our actions? Do we dip and dart instead of allowing our Lord to tenderly cover our hands on the control of our life? As we fly with the Lord we will learn the value of a delicate touch in many areas of our life.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
