Gathering more and more speed the lumbering behemoth surprizingly collected enough lift, or whatever the non-layman term is, to get itself up off the ground and into the air under the pilot's skilled maneuverings.
If a passenger were fortunate enough, she could gawk out the window to see the sprawling metropolis below and the jungle of foliage all morphing into miniatures. But oops, cloud cover with not much to discover was the scenario that day. It is rather a euphoric experience that doesn't grow old or mundane. It is just, sit back and enjoy the moments in the fast lane, so to speak.
Fast lane and high 'lane' traveling at who knows what speeds and likely anywhere from 35-37 or more thousand feet of altitude. But did you know there's an even faster and higher potential experience to experience?
Ever hear of The Rapture? One day soon, and very soon, Jesus is going to call all those of us who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior to go up to be with Him. Scripture tells us we will fly at the speed of a blink of an eye. Watch someone blink, you'll get the picture (see 1 Corinthians 15:51-52).
And the heights to which we shall soar to be with Jesus is known only to Him. The Apostle Paul once said he'd been caught up to the third heaven so that must be higher even than where lumbering winged behemoths can fly (see 2 Corinthians 12:2).
It's exciting to think about. Once up there we don't have to worry about coming back down for a landing either. Even though we, the Church, will come back to Earth to reign with Him, I believe that too will be smooth and successful (see Zechariah 14:1-4, 9 and Revelation 20:5-6).
What do you think? I'll be having this experience, looking forward to it actually, and hope all my readers will too!
Father God, I surely look forward to flying up to be with You one day soon and very soon. Come Lord Jesus. In Jesus' name I ask. Amen.
