I seldom travel by plane. Most of my traveling is in a car and mainly to visit family. Bob and I have taken one long vacation to the Southwest but usually, we simply go see our grandsons in California. This time, however, Patty and I took a flight to Salt Lake City, Patty from Montana and me from Idaho. We rented a car there and drove the remainder of the journey to Cedar City in Southern Utah, reversing the trip on the way home.
I’m not much of a fan of air travel. I’m not afraid of flying, I just don’t care for the TSA hassle or waiting around in terminals. So, of course, now that I am home, my news feed posted an article titled “16 Airport Mistakes to Stop Making Before Your Next Flight.”
Thankfully, when I reviewed them, I found that I didn’t make any of those mistakes. Still, it would have been nice to have been warned about them before I flew just in case.
That’s one thing about our loving Father God … He has given us plenty of warning. He doesn’t want us to make mistakes but to always live pleasing lives before Him. Paul reminded the Thessalonians to “warn [any] as a brother,” who do not heed the instructions given. [2 Thess 3:15]
Throughout the Scriptures God has set forth His Holiness. He invites us to be holy because He is holy. We are to cooperate with the Holy Spirit who leads us and guides us into that holiness of God. We strive to be pleasing to our Father in Heaven. God doesn’t leave us in the dark and then tell us what we did wrong. He brings us into His Light. We see Jesus, and we know without a doubt what we are to be and do.
