Trust

“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”                                                              ― Corrie ten Boom

We made it to Ashley's dorm room!

Last weekend, I drove my oldest daughter to college.  It was a long drive and it was raining.  My daughter, tired from a week of late nights, quickly went to sleep.  It was a deep sleep; she was snoring!  I thought about how much trust that requires.  There are certain people who, no matter how tired I am, I could not sleep while they are driving.  Afterall, my life is in their hands!  My daughter could rest peacefully because she knew that I  would drive safely and that I had directions and a map.  I would get her to her destination.

We did have one minor problem.  The pressure in my tires was low.  I pulled off and explained to Ashley the dangers of driving with the tires not properly inflated.  She agreed that we should stop and take care of the problem rather than continuing on our journey simply speeding toward our destination.

That entire scenario made me contemplate my relationship with Christ.  Do I trust him enough to let him take the driver's seat?  Do I trust that he knows how to get me to my destination so much so that I can relax and simply enjoy the ride?  It's not to say that there won't be any troubles along the way even with Christ at the wheel but I know he will guide me in how to handle them.
