Jesus take the wheel.....

or.. really? what happens after that? can i sit back in the backseat and relax while God drives me around? i'm beginning to not think so...

i believe He still lets us drive.. we're still pretty much in control of what we do, actions we take, words we speak.. BUT.... He's right beside us, He's our instructor, He's got us covered cuz He knows it all, been there and knows what's ahead....

scary thing is we don't know what's ahead.. there's so many turns to take... cars (distractions and obstacles) around us.. are we willing to trust Him? are we willing to seek His will and direction for our lives? or do we ignore Him to the point where sometimes He's gotta hit the emergency break on the instructor seat to keep us from straying....

just another interesting thought... i guess our view on surrender should mean submitting our minds, will and emotions to His will... yet not letting go of the wheel of decisions.. but asking Him, what would Jesus do? what would Jesus say? what do You want me to do? where do You want me to go?

and to trust and obey that He knows best....
