Matthew 16:25 ~ “Then Jesus went to work on his disciples.”Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.” (MSG)
My sisters (and my bff) call my bossy, I beg to differ, my ideas are simply better. I like to be in control of things. I’m organized, I’m timely, and I’m responsible. When things need to get done, I find a way to make it happen. Who wouldn’t want me to be in charge? I’ll tell you who, God! One of the most important lessons I’ve learned since I’ve been a Christian is that I am not in control. God calls the shots, not me. I want to remind you all today that if we are to be and do all that God has for us, we must surrender to Him…completely! He is in the driver’s seat; He knows the route so you don’t have to help with directions. He’s already been where you’re going and He knows how long it will take. You don’t have to try to find short cuts along the way. Trust God, and trust Him for real. Let Him lead you, even if you come to a less than favorable situation, follow Him. He will take you along the safest roads, the ones that lead to victory!
