Do you need a radical change in your life? There's a reason such moments are called "breakthroughs." It usually implies there are challenges through which you and I must persevere to find victory on the other side.

General Charles Elwood Yeager known as “Chuck” is a former United States Air Force officer, flying ace, and record-setting test pilot. In 1947, he became the first pilot confirmed to have exceeded the speed of sound in level flight or the first to break through the sound barrier.

What is a sound barrier?

What is a sound barrier?

A sound barrier is defined as a sharp rise in aerodynamic drag that occurs as an aircraft approaches the speed of sound and that was formerly an obstacle to supersonic flight. If an aircraft flies at somewhat less than sonic speed, the pressure waves (sound waves) it creates out speed their sources and spread out ahead of it. Once the aircraft reaches sonic speed the waves are unable to get out of its way. Strong local shock waves form on the wings and body; airflow around the craft becomes unsteady, and severe buffeting may result, with serious stability difficulties and loss of control over flight characteristics. Generally, aircraft properly designed for supersonic flight have little difficulty in passing through the sound barrier, but the effect upon those designed for efficient operation at subsonic speeds may become extremely dangerous.

When a aircraft breaks through the sound barrier it creates a sonic boom.

When an aircraft breaks through the sound barrier it creates a sonic boom.

A sonic boom is a shock wave that is produced by an aircraft or other object flying at a speed equal to or exceeding the speed of sound and that is heard on the ground as a sound like a clap of thunder.

When an aircraft travels at subsonic speed, the pressure disturbances, or sounds, that it generates extend in all directions. Because this disturbance is transmitted earthward continuously to every point along the path, there are no sharp disturbances or changes of pressure. At supersonic speeds, however, the pressure field is confined to a region extending mostly to the rear and extending from the craft in a restricted widening cone (called a Mach cone). As the aircraft proceeds, the trailing parabolic edge of that cone of disturbance intercepts the Earth, producing on Earth a sound of a sharp bang or boom. When such an aircraft flies at a low altitude, the shock wave may be of sufficient intensity to cause glass breakage and other damage. The intensity of the sonic boom is determined not only by the distance between the craft and the ground but also by the size and shape of the aircraft, the types of maneuvers that it makes, and the atmospheric pressure, temperature, and winds. If the aircraft is especially long, double sonic booms might be detected, one emanating from the leading edge of the plane and one from the trailing edge.

What I am I saying? When you get your breakthrough, your praise aught to be like a sonic boom.

In the early decades of flight, pushing an aircraft past the speed of sound was considered impossible by many engineers and pilots. As planes approached the sound barrier, shockwaves shook the aircraft violently, often to the point that the pilot was unable to maintain control, and the aircraft itself could not withstand the intense vibration. Despite design improvements to the aircraft, the shuddering continued to challenge pilots’ will to push forward. But an interesting change occurred once the plane finally broke through the sound barrier: the shockwaves disappeared, and the plane flew without so much as a bump. Many people struggle with personal sound barriers that keep them from breaking through to a new and better life God may have for them. They may sense the Lord leading them in a particular direction in life, but along the way difficulties challenge their commitment and willingness to persevere. Finances, family struggles, work-related problems, and other matters wear them down until they give up entirely on what God has called them to do. True, some circumstances, like illness, may make it necessary to temporarily set plans aside. But people often give up because the challenge of walking the path God has called them to is inconvenient or uncomfortable. That’s why breaking through to greater things starts with building a foundation of support from family and friends. Then we just have to trust in God’s direction and stick with it.
