When I was a very young boy I always enjoyed taking very long drives with my father. This time that we spent driving was great for me because I had my father’s undivided attention except for his need to share his attention with the road.

Often we would be driving high in the mountains. I loved looking out the window and seeing all the beautiful scenery. My dad would drive very fast causing the car to sway from side to side as we made the turns. This was so much fun; I remember asking him to go faster around the curves. Looking out the window I could see over the edge of the road 1000ft to the bottom of the ravine, it was awesome. Most would be afraid, but for me it was fun because I had complete faith in my father. There were dangers I wasn’t aware of which didn’t concern me because I trusted my father’s judgment.

We are all traveling down the road of life with all of its twists and turns with our heavenly father. Now we are given the choice, to drive or allow our heavenly father to drive. With Him at the wheel we can be relaxed with the assurance that He will get us home safely. Soon we will be on our way home; yes there will be many dangers along our road of life. But with Christ at the wheel we can enjoy the ride trusting in our heavenly Father to bring us home.

Joel 3:16 says it well:

The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

Give Christ the drivers seat in your road trip of life and enjoy the comfort and peace that comes from knowing our Heavenly Father is in total control.
