Another navigation analogy from our current trip to far western Alaska. We are flying with MARC, (Missionary Aviation and Repair Center) with two capable pilots - Bob and Greg. I am learning much about flying in bad weather...there is plenty of that in Alaska at this time of year, and we are experiencing a wide variety of what Alaska has to offer. Used to be pilots flew 'by the seat of their pants' as they say. Not much help about the weather that lay ahead. Today there is a wide array of technical help. You don't have to leave with much guess work about what lies ahead. A good pilot knows that things can change very quickly and will be prepared for that, but they know much more about what to look for. I was amazed how much weather knowledge a simple private pilots license required. When your life - and the life of others - is in your hands you would certainly want to know as much as you can.
There is no licensing requirement for the Christian life - no minimum amount of knowledge required before you can fly. But the dangers are no less real and the consequences of bad choices no less dangerous. The resource book has been around a while - the Bible. A good pilot through life will want to know as much as possible about how to deal with what lies ahead. Find a place that will help you navigate life as prepared as possible.
