Lessons from behind the wheel

I spend more time behind the wheel every day, than most do in a week. It's part of what I do, and who I am. I've been driving for a living almost since I married my wife 10 1/2 years ago. Driving gives me the time to think, and think some more. Sometimes I block out the radio, sometimes I'll jot notes down for later. With the common cell phone in everyone's hand, I can talk outloud to God and work through issues without people thinking I'm crazy.

What do you see from behind the wheel?


Some people fly down the highway, and some take it slow. Some are focused on the finish and some just roll along, getting there sometime, somehow and somewhere. Some may be just out with no destination in mind. How many of us are like that in life? We drive like mad to get to the finish line and find out that the finish line moved?
We will find our spiritual lives the same way. We might be rushing along working hard, or lazily headed in the wrong direction without knowing it.
Like on the highway, you should check the road map, in your spiritual life, you should check your Bible for directions. We don't need to speed, because God is always on time, just not our time.

Follow His directions and you'll never be dissapointed with the destination.
