Matthew 16:24
Hello, my friend.
Are you a backseat driver? Ok, I know that I am. Just ask Jim! Except that I am usually in the passenger seat with my head bobbing in every direction watching traffic and the side mirrors as well. I want to be in control. Let’s look at two scenarios:
First, I want you to imagine a woman who is trying to wrestle the driver’s wheel away from her husband (me). Now imagine a woman who is sitting in the passenger’s seat allowing her husband to drive without complaining, correcting or cursing. Which one do you think is experiencing rest? The one who trusts and is sitting in the passenger’s seat, of course. She is enjoying the scenery. But, the other woman doesn’t have time to enjoy a thing because she is too busy trying to be in control. But if she would only choose to trust, she could rest, too. Which woman will you be like? When you trust and decide that you will let God drive, there is a natural rest that will occur.
So how about you, my friend, your choice?
Linda
