As I promised, here's the continuation from where I left in my last post. Driving Force - Part 2, another reason why God should be your driving force.
(If you had missed out on part 1, then here it is : Your driving force (Part 1) )
God didn't create you to leave you as a 'no-man' in this world. He also takes complete responsibility to give you a good future and decide on your life's destinations if you are willing to let His will be done in your life. (You can read more about it here on my post : 2011 - A Happy Voyage)
You and I do not know what lies ahead of us in the future. And so hoping that our parents, friends and relatives know about OUR future is out of the question. Who knows it then? Only our Creator. Only He knows our destination because He destines it for us. If He is the One who decides our future, how can someone else drive us to that destination? In otherwords, how can others' approval (by 'others', I mean anyone other than God, includng YOU!) be your driving force?
Life's journey is like traveling by car to a destination. Will you ever allow someone who doesn't know the route to drive you to that place? If you do that, there may be chances that you reach your destination but what guarantee do you have for reaching there on time with no wrong turns and unnecessary 'take diversions'? That's exactly what happens when you allow others' approval be your driving force. You might go in all the wrong paths which are unnecssary and therby face extra disappointments and pressures!
But when God is gonna drive you, you have the comfort of sitting in a car that is not just gonna take you to your destined finish line, but also ensures that you reach your destination exactly on time for the Bible says that 'In His time, He makes all things bautiful.' He will accelerate the car at times and that's when you will see a lot of success, He will drive slowly at the other times when you might just feel that things are not moving at the pace you would like them to move and He will even put on the brakes at times when you might just find the entire world moving forward but you will seem to be stuck up at one place. When God is gonna drive us through, we might have to face acceleration, sudden brakes, some slow rides in traffic and some sharp turns as well. If only we could put on our seat belts and let Him continue to be our driving force, nothing can stop us from reaching the heights He has destined for us to reach.
Why should God be your driving force - in a nutshell :
- He has promised to be with you always while the world doesn't guarantee that.
- The world's approval will break you (because you are trying hard to gain acceptance) but God's approval will mould you into a vessel of His choice.
- The world will judge you using a good-o-meter but God judges you using His grace-o-meter (You needn't try, you needn't cry.No, you just needn't do that ).
- And finally, a perfect reason to have God as our driving force - He is our Creator and our Destination decider. After all, He Himself has said,
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end."
WHO/WHAT IS DRIVING YOU NOW?
