Avoid Sticker Shock

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it""- Isaiah 30:21 (NIV).

There is a narrow road that leads to life. Many will seek it, but only a few will find it (Matthew 7:14). There are only two ways to find that narrow path: through trust and obedience. There's a bumper sticker that says God is my Co-Pilot. Sad to say, if that is the truth. God is never the co-pilot; He's the Pilot. He has to be. The steering wheel of your life must be turned over to Him, scary as that sounds. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."  We all have a destination following the end of our earthly stay, but it's not always the desired destination. God has promised you that He will "instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; [He] will counsel you with [His] loving eye on you" (Psalm 32:8). Let go of that steering wheel; trust and obey God. Replace that bumper sticker, which only leads to sticker shock, with this one: In case of Rapture this vehicle will be unmanned.
