Relax, I'm driving

Today I blew someone's car horn while she was still driving. Not cool... I could justify it but it's just not right to do such. I panicked when I saw a big truck in our lane that was distracted whilst avoiding an obstacle in his. So what did I do? Stretch out my hand from the front passenger's seat and blow the horn of the kind lady who was giving me a lift from work. Oh my, was I shy!

Then it occurred to me... don't I often display my mistrust in God by blowing horns of fear and panic when He's in control in the driver's seat? Don't I try and help the one Who has the best view of my past and future and has fully assessed my present as the only One Who has positioned Himself to do so? "Relax, I'm on the driver's seat," He seems to say to me when He said:

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)

Yes, God is in control of my life so I need not worry or be frightened of what lies ahead, whatever seems to be rushing at me in obvious danger. He's in the Driver's seat and will journey with me in safety. Obviously He's far better than any experienced driver could be. He's the God of Wonders, the God of Miracles, the God of Peace and the God of everpresent security. He is the God Who drives me... The God in control of all situations...

So the next time I feel like there's some impending danger, I'll remember this verse, this car horn experience and the fact that I can relax, God's driving...

And you? What about you?
