Imagine you’re getting in your car on an icy, slushy day. The roads aren’t the best and the temperature is below freezing. You’re on your way to your destination, you got two hands on the steering wheel and you’re paying real close attention to the traffic in front of you. Then suddenly the car in front of you hits their breaks….
You’re paying attention, your hands are on the steering wheel, and you’re driving a good judging distance speed from the car in front of you. Then all of sudden as you go to slow down and stop you begin to slide, the car is then out of your complete control. You can only do what you can do meaning, hold on to the steering wheel, hit the break with your foot and pray you don’t smash the car that’s in front of you.
In reality, we freak out, clinch up, become tense, pull the steering wheel up and back like that’s really going to do something and whether we believe in God or not, we call out for help… Which is very defeating in that moment, people have died because of being so tense at the point of contact!
That’s what faith is supposed to be everyday in everything we do! When we are doing everything we can that’s within our complete control, we can then trust God that everything is going to be ok. We hear the phrase ”Jesus take the wheel.” I believe our trust in Yashua and Yahweh can be seen as rooted in that.
“I can’t do this, so you must.” Which then allows me to do.
In Isaiah 66:2 we read, “For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the LORD “but to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word.”
I hope and pray this analogy blesses you with an understanding trust in God that gives you reassurance in your own personal walk.
God Got Me, God Got You.
Love
