Keep God in the Driver's Seat

EL CAJON, Calif. (BP) -- "Hey, lead foot, are you sure the speed limit is 95?" "Are you waiting for some particular shade of green?" "Are you tailgating or is that car towing us?" Backseat drivers feel the need to be in control.

Here are the truths we should be learning and affirming daily to keep us from becoming backseat drivers to God on the days life gets dangerous:

1. Remember Who's been driving the longest.

"From of old" describes all of the following: God's compassion and loving kindness (Psalm 25:6); the throne from which He rules (Psalm 55:19; 93:2); His kingship (Psalm 74:12); the time His ordinances have been in place (Psalm 119:52); the time He has been the only God (Isaiah 45:21); the time He has been our Father and Redeemer (Isaiah 63:16); the time Jesus has existed (Micah 5:2).
