The Ultimage Navigator
My wife and I love to go for a drive. While I sit behind the driver’s seat she sits in the seat next to me with map in hand and tells me what road to take and when I need to make a right or left turn. I don’t care what is beyond the next turn; I just need her to tell me when I need to make the next change in direction. Sometimes, I think I know better and will navigate and drive at the same time. Invariably, I get us lost on a strange road.
In many ways that has been my relationship with God lately. I get into trouble when I take things into my own hands. I decide to navigate while driving and I end up doing to many things at one time. I do not listen to God’s direction and I find myself on a bumpy, bizarre road. I get carried away thinking about things I can not affect. I am lost.
When I hand the map back to my wife and I listen to her navigate, the drive is enjoyable. When I spend time with God, and pray with him, and study him. I do not worry about what is to come; I simply drive and let God navigate.
