IS GOD THE CAPTAIN OR CO-CAPTAIN OF YOUR VESSEL?

When we were born, a plan and a purpose for our lives had already been implemented. God designed a specific journey for each one of us to embark upon. The Bible teaches us that God has a plan for our life and we are to be obedient and follow HIS instruction. So why do we still attempt to take over the controls? We were not created to maneuver efficiently through the storms and fires that will inevitably confront us on the trip. When we take the driver's seat, we also have to take on the responsibility of managing the crashes and turnovers that occur along the journey. We often struggle with keeping the proper speed along the path and we end up going too fast and missing our destination. We may also find ourselves slowing down and allowing other people and opportunities to pass us by. Sometimes we weave in and out of lanes; nearly missing people who have no idea that we too are on a mission and that our lack of focus could not only delay, debilitate or completely destroy our lives, but the lives of others as well. God is always with us, no matter what our destination is. HE protects us from all kinds of circumstances; those we are aware of and others that we aren’t. Trust and allow God to take complete control of your life. When life seems to take a wrong turn and head us towards an undesirable location; we tend to believe that God has left us out there to fend for ourselves, that HE has forsaken us. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH!! God allows us to experience some road blocks for our own good. HE helps us recognize that He is there to guide us every step of the way. HE strengthens and prepares us to endure the spiritual struggles that may come our way. Depend on God to fight your battles, be still when necessary and hear HIS voice when HE guides you on the path of righteousness. Pray daily for the directional road signs that He has already written up and mapped out for you to follow that will lead you to victory. Knowing that God created the Heavens, the Earth and ALL things, we should never doubt HIS ability to guide us through the circumstances and situations that cross our path. We should always rely on HIM and know that HE should be in control of our lives. Trust God to take the wheel and HE will ALWAYS lead us to a joyful, blessed and peaceful eternal life.
