God's Simulator

Have you ever wondered how the huge aircrafts are piloted by just two people, a pilot and a co-pilot? And while flying how does the pilot manage all the challenges& difficult situations? When airlines induct a pilot, they train him thoroughly in a simulator to manage any situations.
 
A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies. The pilot will see, hear & feel like a real aircraft and is designed to present the pilot with a variety of potential problems so that they will be able to handle any emergency in the future.
 
First the pilot is tested with simple challenges, which eventually build up to catastrophic situations. The pilots are given more difficult problems only when they have mastered the previous ones. The result is that when the pilots have completed their courses, they are prepared to handle any problem that comes their way. This is similar to God’s method of working with us. He trains us in different simulators.

 
Moses – In the wilderness
 
Joseph – In the pit, Pothiphar’s House & the Prison
 
David – Through King Saul’s Persecution
 
The disciples of Jesus when caught in the storm of the sea of Galilee were in a state of despair, despondency and dilemma. This was an exercise to simulate fear, doubt and failure and to learn to trust Jesus, so that the disciples need not fear in any situation when they sit in the “Real Cockpit”
 
Yes, my dear friends God put each one of us through many a simulator to teach us how to handle the problems of life, but never give us more than we can handle. He teaches us through each situation, so that we can be fully prepared and become mature people, ready to handle any challenge in life that might come our way. So, go through God’s simulator with a smile!
 
Let’s share these words so that it may reach someone who might need it!
