1 Peter 5:6-7
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
Our eagerness to be the one to operate a motor vehicle is an object lesson to teach us about our spiritual life—WE WANT TO DRIVE! We may not be qualified or adequately aware of the hazards which may lie up ahead, but we still want to take control.
The Apostle Peter tells us to demonstrate humility. While this is a quality that is greatly prized by writers of Scripture, unfortunately it is not esteemed in our society. We are more prone to see strutting, swaggering, and bragging.
Micah 6:8 reveals God’s pattern for us “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” These words in Micah are words of instruction for the daily walk of the believer.
That, my dear friend, is cutting to the bottom line. If you really and truly desire to find a peace with God, do things God’s way and live in harmony with those around you. It is God’s way – – – LET GOD DRIVE!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
