The Law That Changes Everything
by Bill Winston
When I began flight training in the military, we started out in ground school. We first had to get the laws of flight into our hearts and minds, so we could do on the ground what would be required of us in the air. Those laws became so ingrained in us we could do them in our sleep.
In ground school, we learned what it takes to get a plane off the ground and keep it in the air. But first we learned the basic laws of flight—the laws of gravity and lift, and thrust and drag. We learned how these laws work together to result in flight.
Before the instructors would let us go up in the plane, they had to know we had learned all the principles of flight. And we also needed to have faith in the laws we had learned. We saw them at work, day in and day out, as hundreds of planes took off and landed. But when we got in the plane, we had to have no doubt that those laws would work for us.
A few of my fellow students had to develop their faith in those laws and overcome some fears.
One guy was afraid to land the plane. Just like the rest of us, he knew the laws of flight and the mechanics of the plane, but his faith in the landing procedure wavered. With the instructor at his side, every time he started to land, fear would overtake him and he would fly by the runway. Sadly, he never got over his fear of crash landing, and eventually left the program without his pilot’s wings. The laws of flight were not able to work for him.
Laws Work!
Now, there are some laws of the Spirit that are as basic to our faith as these laws are to flying. And just like the laws of flight, they will keep you moving upward and forward when circumstances are trying to take you down and back! The same One who made this physical realm created the spirit realm, and He guarantees the laws to work. They work for the believer and nonbeliever alike.
