Jesus the Driver, We the Passengers

Another illustration that came up to my mind about Grace is in the car. As i heard a sharing from last week in international fellowship SD, i realized that it was true that God was the ultimate driver of our lives. He practically has been driven our lives since we are in the womb of our mothers. Ironically, many people just deny that they can control themselves, control their future as i often see. Lack of patience and rushing with the fleshy emotion, we often stumble on the worse things which actually could be avoided. I experienced these things.

Talking about grace, it is a privilege for us to have a good driver who knows all the ways and directions to go to the right destination. Think that if we could just sit and listen to how God wants to design our ways of life. It does not mean that you don't have to think about what you want to do in the future though, it's just surrendering our future to God as the ultimate giver. Similarly, a taxi passenger still needs to tell the driver where to go. However, we don't need to pay anything when God is our driver. Knowing that God is only a prayer away, it's very simple and easy to ask the plan from Him.

If there were some difficult situations, think that those were just lessons for us for not trusting him fully or for us to lean to him more closely. Think that the taxi just bumps into something or turns to a long driveway to avoid something worse that we could have never imagined, but the car is still fine. For God is our on-time provider, we will arrive to our destination safely and sufficiently. Amen.
