Flying

         I have always been interested in flying.  O, not with an airplane, just flying.  While at sea, I saw small fish about 6 inches long, skimming across the top of the waves going from wave to wave with fins that stretched out like wings.  They were referred to as "flying fish."  Then, there are those "flying squirrels" who can spread out their legs which support a web like surface causing them to float from tree to tree.  So, if squirrels and fish can fly, why can't I?  I have even had dreams where I was running and all of a sudden take off and began to dip and dive all over the place.  I look forward to flying.  First Thessalonians 4:16-18 says, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words."   These verses have always intrigued me as they discuss that time when believers will be caught up in the air with those who are alive at the time, to meet the Lord in the air.  Every molecule and every atom of every person will be brought back together for every believer at that time and they will be brought up to meet the Lord in the air.  Decay won't matter.   Fire won't matter.  Being blown up won't matter.  The Lord knows where it is all at and He can put it all back together even with the power of His Word at any time.  So, flying is not going to be a problem.  As Paul said to the Philippians, "I can do all things through Christ which strentheneth me."  That's even good for flying.  So, praise God today that He is the One who can make all things possible and trust Him for each and everything in your life.
