Get Out of the Way! 10-15-11

Good Morning Sunshines!
I think I'll get straight to the point this morning. Get out of the way and trust God! Have you ever been in a hurry to get somewhere and end up stuck behind somebody who is moving as slow as molasses? Frustrating huh? Well, I am sure the Lord feels that way often concerning us! He is in such a hurry to bless us, heal us, make ways for us, deliver us, and so much more. But, we are in the way!! If we could just follow His lead and GET OUT OF THE WAY, we could get to where He wants us to be much faster! Proverbs 3:5-6 says.."Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (NIV). My mother and I would drive to North Carolina every summer. When she was teaching me to drive long distances on the highway, she told me to get behind a truck that was going a good speed and stay behind him. Being an inexperienced driver, this was the best advice! At the age of thirteen (I may have been younger but I'll stick with thirteen as not to alert Child Protective Services. LOL!) I was able to take to the road like a pro. I drove me and my mom from Cincinnati to Detroit and I wasn't afraid at all. My mom (an experienced driver) had given me the direction to get behind another experienced driver who specialized in driving long distances (the trucker) and just follow his lead. Let's insert ourselves and Christ into this story....The Father (an experienced driver) has given us the direction to get behind Christ (another experienced driver who specializes in going the distance) and just follow where He leads.  Love Y'all!
