NO LIFE IS MORE SECURE THAN A LIFE SURRENDERED TO GOD! (These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. John 16:13) When airplane pilots are training, they spend many hours in flight simulators. These simulators give the students a chance to experience the challenges and dangers of flying an aircraft-but without risk! The pilots dont have to leave the ground, and if they crash in the simulation, they can calmly walk away. Simulators are tremendous teaching tools-helpful in preparing the aspiring pilot to take command of an actual aircraft. The devices, however, have a shortcoming. They create an artificial experience in which the full blown pressures of handling a real cockpit cannot be fully replicated. Real life, IS like that! It cannot be simulated. There is no safe risk-free environment in which we can experience lifes ups and downs unharmed. The risks and dangers of living in a broken world are inescapable. Thats why the words of Jesus are so reassuring. He said, These things I have spoken to you, that in ME you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world (John 16:33) Although we cant avoid the dangers of life in a fallen world, we can have peace through a relationship with Jesus. He has secured our ultimate victory. (Our outward troubles may not cease, but inside we can have that Perfect Peace! No safer place to be than in the arms of Jesus. WIN, WIN Situation!)
