The Car Ride

My father was driving me to school today and I saw a little girl in the car in front. She was probably in her elementary years and just as my dad was taking me to school; her mom was probably doing the same. She sat in the backseat with a toy in the right hand but paid no attention to it. Instead her head was on a swivel, constantly twisting and turning to see where she was at and where she was going. I found this very peculiar.

Instead of enjoying the toy she has, she is worried about where her mother driving. I am doing the same. Instead of enjoying what I have right now in life, I am so caught up in what I am going to be doing and where I will end up in the future. But why worry when her mother is driving the car? Why worry when her mother knows where she is going? In the same sense, why should I worry when Jesus has a set plan for me in my life?

It’s natural for us humans to worry because it’s hard for us to trust someone/something who isn’t even tangible, who isn’t physically here on the earth, who doesn’t physically talk to us. How can we trust that? But seen in the example, the mother drives the child but can the opposite be said? Can the child drive the mother? The simple answer is no. In that same sense, God can lead us on a path but we are incapable of leading our own lives.

So how can we trust a God who lacks physical presence?

We trust in him because we as humans are incapable of driving our own lives in the right direction. Humans are too selfish, too insecure, too unstable, too corrupt, and finally and most importantly, humans are too human.
