In this short devotional, the speaker recounts a woman's fear during an unexpected bout of airplane turbulence, describing the chaotic sensations and her worst‑case thoughts about the plane crashing. The pilot quickly restores calm by climbing to a higher altitude, illustrating how a simple adjustment can turn turbulence into smooth flight. The speaker then draws a parallel to life's trials, urging listeners to "adjust your altitude" spiritually—rising higher into the presence of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to lift the mind and heart. The core message is that when turbulence (hardship) arises, seeking higher, divine perspective brings peace and dispels needless worry.

Chapters

A woman grew nervous as the plane entered rough air. The flight had been smooth up to that point, but out of seemingly nowhere, the plane entered turbulent air. The pilot instructed the attendants to be seated. A stewardess lost her balance while moving to her seat. Items rattled, seats shook, the wings of the plane began to wobble. The woman sat there fretting, imagining the worst-case scenarios. Will the plane fall out of the sky? Are the wings going to break? Is the pilot going to lose control? While she sat there playing doomsday scenarios in her mind, the pilot adjusted the altitude of the plane by climbing higher, Within minutes, the chaotic scene became calm, and it was as though they had never gone through the rough patch. When life becomes turbulent, it may seem as though the worst-case scenario is about to play out. Everything is shaken, but then the calm comes, and you realize that there was no reason to have been so worried. When turbulence comes, adjust your altitude. Rise higher. Let the Holy Spirit lift your mind and heart. Ascend to higher places in God's presence. There, in His presence, there is peace.
