Dr. Seuss said it…do we believe it? Should we want to steer ourselves in any direction we choose?!
Let’s break it down-
Whoever is doing the steering is going to be the driver, the one who determines the destination.
It depends on who is at the wheel where you are heading.
Are you heading the right direction?
Do you need a course correction?
Maybe it is because of the one who is the one steering you-
whether you or someone else?
Carrie Underwood belts out, “Jesus take the wheel…” implying she had it, but she is ready to pass it on to Him.
Do we even want Jesus to take the wheel from us?
We have a decision to make.
What if we decide we want Jesus to drive, to lead, to be in control.
What does that look like on a day to day basis?
How do we really hand the keys over and let Him?
How about this?
We have brains in our head
We have feet in our shoes
We can let Jesus steer us any direction He choose(s)!
How do we consistently hand the keys over to Him each day or even each moment?
Proverbs 3:5-6 states: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.”
King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, reminded us not to listen to ourselves, but to seek Him and trust He will steer us right every time. We can count on Him. We only need to surrender our will to His, knowing and trusting that His plans are far greater than anything we could even imagine!
“Lord, please help me to give you the keys and trust your plan for me each day.”
Each day I hand God the keys
And I beg and I say Please,
Lord Jesus, lead me, guide me,
Direct me, and help me to see
That no matter how hard to believe,
I know Your ways are always best for me.
For His Glory
