SCRIPTURE: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: In life, your preservation or safety is tied to what you know from the Word of God.
I heard a story some years ago where there was a terrible turbulence in the air during a flight. The turbulence occurred during a flight from America to Australia. Everyone on board the flight was trembling in fear.
However, there was a man who sat all alone by himself in the aircraft and crossed his legs unperturbed. He was even whistling joyfully as he sat.
Every other person got confused at his action, and so someone asked him, “Everyone in the aircraft is afraid and shaking because of the turbulence, but you are calmly seated and whistling. Why are you not afraid?”
The man said, “If you know what I know, you won’t be shaking.”
The most interesting thing was that this man was not even a Christian.
The man continued, “At the corner of this aircraft, there is a man seated there. His name is Billy Graham. He is also a passenger in this aircraft. Since he is here, this aircraft cannot crash.”
That was the secret the man knew. He did not use his own faith because he was not a believer. He was trusting God to deliver him on the basis of another person’s faith.
In life, your preservation or safety is tied to your knowledge of the Word of God. Success in life is a product of what you know. And in the same manner, failure in life is a product of what you do not know. This is the reason why ignorance is a potent weapon of the devil. What you know is what you can show. The dignity of your life and destiny is tied to what you know.
Therefore, make up your mind to go for knowledge – the knowledge of God, the knowledge of His Word, and the knowledge of who you are.
Remember this: In life, your preservation or safety is tied to what you know from the Word of God.
