Life is Like a Roller Coaster Ride

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” (James 1:6 King James Version)

The sailings are not always great; there will be waves, big waves that will disturb our life, our family, our dreams and vision. By the grace of God, I traveled in many places. I am a frequent flyer, and one of the scariest parts in flying for me are the take off, few minutes before the landing, and for sure the landing. We have air pockets in our flight… that cannot be avoided!

“Hitting an "air pocket" means that the lift under the wings is reduced, causing the plane to drop. This would only occur for about one or two seconds max, after which the pilot should be able to regain control. Keep in mind you are flying at 6 miles up and the drop would only be a few hundred feet, so it is very unlikely that this would cause a crash. It is actually pretty shocking when it happens - It feels like when you are on the downward slope of a roller coaster, but it is a very rare occurrance.” (Yahoo Answers)

Life is like a roller coaster ride, it’s full of ups and down. We must be firm and determined because the roads are not always smooth, sometimes they’re rough and bumpy. We need to look up to God by faith in our hearts.  Apostle wrote; “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14- I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”  (Philippians 3:13- 14 KJV)
