Fly Away
“We spend our years as a tale that is told…for it is soon cut off, and we fly away” (Psalm 90:9-10).
Here we are (my wife and I), on a plane from Frankfurt Germany to Ottawa Canada. We know where we are going, we are being taken care of on the way, and the monitor at our seat tells us our altitude, ground speed, and estimated time of arrival. Everyone on this Boeing 777 is going to the same place and will arrive at the same time.
But what about our travel to eternity? Not everyone is going to the same place, and no one knows how long their journey of life will be. For some it is short, for others it is longer, but one thing is for sure, it will end, and there is a destiny.
My wife and I made sure we had a ticket and a boarding pass, and that our seat was secure long before the plane took off. For both of us, our ticket is also secured for that day when we will “fly away” to heaven to be with the Lord Jesus our precious Saviour. Before this flight ends, our heavenly flight may take place. We are prepared, for that flight of all flights through the work of Calvary…ARE YOU?
