If a car represented your life who would be driving? Would you be driving? Or would God be driving with you riding shotgun? Hmm... Let's think about this for a minute.
-Some of us are driving and we didn't even ask God to get in the car. We just took off without Him and went our own way. Maybe we forgot God, or maybe we just didn't want Him in the car to see how we really act.
-Some of us know that we are busy driving and make God ride in the back seat. (We don't even let Him sit up front with us!)
-Some of us are driving and God is riding shotgun. We want God to be prominent in our life so we put Him up front where everyone can see Him. However, in the end we are the ones making all the decisions, which include a lot of wrong turns.
-Some of us let God drive. We ride shotgun because we want to be all over the action of our lives. We sit in the front seat and call out demands like a backseat driver. We want God to be in control, but we have a hard time actually relinquishing the control.
-Some of us let God drive and thank Him for driving. We ride shotgun and talk to God and tell Him how much we love Him and how much easier our life is with Him making all the decisions. We know that we are safe and loved with God driving.
So, who's driving?
"Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory." Psalm 73: 23-24
