Life has become a spaceship!

31 Aug Life has become a spaceship!

Senator Bill Nelson trained for and flew on a six-day space shuttle mission aboard the Columbia just prior to the Challenger disaster.

🎯In his book Mission he explains how difficult it is to maintain a proper orbit in space.

🎯There’s no resistance in space, so an astronaut can literally turn that huge orbiter over by himself.

🎯To maintain a proper orbit, the onboard computers constantly make course and altitude corrections by firing small rockets which make minute adjustments, while larger jets burn fuel to make major adjustments.

🎯These rockets are critical, for if they don’t consistently fire at the right time, the space vehicle can veer from its orbit and go tumbling into outer space or crashing into Earth’s atmosphere.

🎯There is a takeaway here for each of us.

🎯Left to ourselves, we tend to veer out of our spiritual orbit into lukewarmness indifference.

🎯Or worse—we end up in sin and rebellion.

🎯That’s when the rockets of prayer and reading God’s word, ‘help us to keep our course correct, and prevent our lives from spinning out of spiritual control.

🎯These days, the temptation to spin out of control into self destruction is strong.
