Give God the reins
Give God the reins
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 NIV Writer Cliff Schimmels tells this story about the days before cars: 'When I was young my dad had a team of horses. One day he said to me, "Son, would you like to drive?" So I took the reins. I was in control. I was driving. But the plodding bothered me, it was too slow. So I clucked the horses along and they began to trot. Then Babe and Blue came up with a better idea. They decided that if they ran we would get home faster.... As the prairie-dog holes whizzed by I concluded that we were in a dangerous situation, so I tried my best to slow down the runaway team. I tugged on the reins until my hands cramped. I cried and pleaded, but nothing worked. Old Babe and Blue just kept running. I glanced over at my dad and he was just sitting there, watching the world go by.... My hands were cut from the reins, tears streaming down my face, frozen from the winter cold. Finally in desperation I turned to my dad and said, "Here, take the reins, I don't want to drive any more." There's always that moment when the only way out is to turn to our Heavenly Father and say, 'Here, take the reins, I don't want to drive any more.' And He will, but you've got to hand them to Him!
