Guess what? I'm having an adventure with God everyday..driving is not easy..especially if you are driving a manual car..imagine being stuck in a traffic jam for hours..sobs..well, your journey begins as you start to drive..and you need the guts and all the courage in the world to drive a car..same goes for those who have yet to accept Christ..you need to step out and be open to accept Jesus into your life..first lesson- first gear..if it is your very first time driving..first gear is not easy as you need to balance the clutch and the accelerator well before you can move on to second gear etc..haha..i had difficulty with first gear when i was learning to drive..i guess the driving instructor nearly had an heart attack teaching me..thank God that he was patient..after overcoming first gear, the rest is history..easy as ABC..passed my driving test and got my license! Driving is more a less similar to what we experience daily..in order to get to our destination, we will go through various roads- some may be long, some may be shortcuts..not to mention obstacles such as bumps and Malaysian potholes! Just picture with me, we are Christians who are looking forward to meeting God- that would be our destination..as we drive, we will definitely go through various roads..that would be decisions which we made in life..the bumps and potholes are the obstacles that we faced in our daily life which will lead us to detours if we are not careful..but as we continue to trust in the Lord, the obstacles that we encountered would somehow turn positive in a way..for example, bumps will slow us down and prevents accidents..same goes for us, at times God wants us to experience trials in order to prepare us for the future..God has BIG plans for us..as we head on to our journey, we need petrol..God's words (Bible) will keep us moving..continue to fill the tank with His words and they will carry us through this very journey of life..the car needs maintenance- we need to send the car for service constantly..just like us- we need to check on ourselves from time to time..we need the car to travel right? The Holy Spirit is like the car..as drivers, we need to get used to the car and comfortable in order to travel in the car..the car needs the driver to move, the driver needs the car to travel..it's about working hand-in-hand along with the Holy Spirit as we are heading to grow God's kingdom..this just struck me as i drove to JB and Singapore for the very first time yesterday in order to reach Expo..would like to share this with you guys out there..let us work along with the Holy Spirit in order to reach our destination in life..Phillippians 3:13-14 "One thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" Come on, let us drive with God as the lifetime adventure unfolds!=)
