The Designated Driver

A designated driver is understood to be a person that drives for someone who has one too many alcoholic beverages. This person is designated because they are equipped to assist, I'm sure with driver's license and knowledge of the route to their destination. They can be trusted behind the wheel, to get their friend to their destination safe. For a couple of months now I've been the passenger more than I've been the driver because I don't have a vehicle of my own...yet.  To be honest, it gets frustrating sometimes because I'm so used to taking certain routes to places and simply, driving a certain kind of way. So, I have to trust the driver's route and their way of getting me to my destination. The Word of God encourages us in Proverbs 3:5, 6 to trust the Lord with all of our heart and not lean to our own understanding, but to acknowledge God in all of our ways and He will direct our paths. King David often prayed for God to show him the right path and way he should walk because he trusted that God knew what was ahead; therefore, He was well qualified and equipped to lead him right and get him to his destination. Can you say that you trust God enough to stop the vehicle, take your hands off of the wheel, and  yield it to God? A couple of years ago I wrote a song entitled "FinallYes". It's a song about giving up my will for the will of God and allowing Him to show me His way to fulfilling His will for my life. I am confident that God can be trusted because He has always done exactly what He said He would do if I stepped out by faith and walked in the way He had already paved for me. I am a passenger in the natural and in the spirit. My car was totaled in January and I know that God blocked some things from occurring during that accident. About a week or so after the accident I wrote a poem entitled "He Drives For Me". The major thought behind that poem is that God knows my future and the way in which I should go to get there. When a person allows another person to drive for them, especially if their incoherent, or tired, or not feeling well, then they're saying "I trust you with my life for how ever long it takes to reach my destination". They are also saying "I trust your way to get me there, even if I know an alternate route". My main purpose with this thought is to express that God is willing and well able to take care of you when you completely surrender your life to Him. I promise you that your days will be sweeter. Your ride will be a lot more smooth. Even if a few lumps and bumps come along the way, God has a way of getting you through as long as you stay in place and in your seat. Can your designated driver be trusted to get you to that place you're supposed to me? Are they equipped and qualified enough to get you there safe? It's never too late to stop and yield the wheel to God, which is simply letting go of your will for His will.
