All she wanted to do was get home to "her Mama and her Daddy", and she was not paying attention to the driving conditions of the road nor how fast she was driving. She was driving home to visit her parents for Christmas, and she was low on gas as well as her faith. She is beyond overwhelmed with the outcome of her life, and it seems as if everything that can go wrong for her will. He listens, He blesses, He heals, He corrects, He forgives, He strengthens you.The lyrics of Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood explain the difficulty a woman is having managing her life and taking care of her child. He paid for your sins on the cross and wants to be a part of your life. Giving God control is not losing control it’s getting our vehicle called life sparkling clean, hands-free. Is He driving? Or are you still grabbing the steering wheel? God knows our lives more than we do. How much are you willing to surrender to Jesus? How much do you trust Jesus? Can you honestly say – Jesus take the wheel in every facet of my life?Ĭan you truthfully say that every decision in your life is made by listening to His voice? Have you given Jesus the wheel, the breaks and the gearbox of your life? We are not willing to let Jesus take the wheel.Ī few minutes later I come out of the drive through with a sparkling clean car. Unlike the girl in Carrie Underwood’s song “ Jesus take the wheel,” we are not willing to let Jesus get any closer to our business, our life, and our family. We believe in Him but we don’t want to let Jesus take the wheel. So we grab life by the horns and steer forward without Him. We don’t want to surrender because we are afraid we might crash. We read in the scriptures that God has good plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11), that God is our shepherd ( Psalm 23), and about Him being our rock ( Psalm 18:2).īut do we trust Him with our lives? No.
And I had forgotten how much faith I needed to let a machine drive my car through a dark alley of cleaning cloths and jets of white foam.
