Captain Of The Vessel

I recently took a plane trip and suddenly came to the realization that I put my life in the hands of a total stranger. I didn't try to figure out how to fly the plane, I didn't look for the nearest exit door, I just read my kindle and played games.I just left the captain to do what captains do best,control the vessel. I want to be the same with God... He knows every fiber of my being. I trusted a stranger with my life, how much more should I trust the one who knows me better than anyone? The captain has appointed stewards and stewardesses to lead me and help me while he pilots the vessel. God has appointed leaders in my life to give me directions in much the same way, as the captain and the stewards /stewardesses. Sometimes when things go wrong, I tend to doubt God and or the leadership. But I didn't do any of this on the plane.I would have looked pretty silly. I wonder if God just  watches patiently and waits for me to come to my senses. I couldn't tell where we were on the plane, I didn't have communication with anyone I knew,I just had to trust. There was no one to validate the pilot was going to do the right thing, there was no one there to put an arm around me and comfort me in the moments I was scared,but yet I had faith that we were going to get to our planned destination. God has multiple witnesses, I have a a lot of friends and leaders that will put an arm around me when I'm afraid,I have so much reason to trust God. Now I just need to enjoy the ride and thank Him that He is going to get me to my destination just fine.
