“The
View”
Thanks
Zachary for the inspiration of this PRaP. For
those of you who do not know who Zachary is, he is my 10 year old son.
As I have gotten older I have forgotten some things like what it feels
like going down the road at high speed only being able to see out the side
window. The driver and the front
seat passenger can see everything going on in front of and on side of the car as
you go down the highway of life. Those
who have the backseat to life can only see what’s mostly already taken place.
Now if you are on the right highway Jesus is driving and you are on the
passenger side of the front seat and you can see what is ahead of you for quite
some distance and Jesus of course already knows what is ahead even before it
comes into view. Although He
listens to us direct where we want to go there are times, and thankfully so,
that He doesn’t go the way we want Him to.
Let’s look from a different angle what if you are following the right
path but have chosen to take the back seat?
Well all you will see pretty much is a blur and an occasional nice thing
or an occasional horrific thing but for the most part you coast through life in
the back seat never knowing what is ahead only what has past you by.
Lot’s of folks do that, they sit in the back seat and when God lays out
a blessing all they can do is pass it by because they didn’t see it coming. It is kind of like walking through life with blinders on, oh
that’s a whole other message. Now
while sitting in the front seat with Jesus driving He will let you know there is
a blessing and it is up to you to ask Him to stop so you can grab it up.
But it takes timing and patience that can only come from Jesus because if
my memory has not failed me His stops are not like our stops and usually you
have to roll down the window and hang out there to grab that blessing before it
passes you by. Don’t worry we
sometimes miss but God promises to continue to bless us daily.
The only way to do this right is to have that relationship with Jesus and
there is only one way to get it and that is to ask.
