Get Over!

Picture the scene. We're riding along, en route to Washington DC, confidently following our GPS. We realize that the lead car in our train is going another way. The phone rings.

"What's going on over there?"
"Just following the GPS. "
"Well ours says something different."
"Aw, we're just following ours. I'm sure they'll both get us there."

Then, without warning, my husband dips over to get behind the lead car.

"Why you do that?"
"Well we just can't have them out here lost."
"They are probably saying the same thing about us."
"Yeah, but we gotta make sure they know where they are going. Better safe than sorry."

Interesting...first, the level of humility my husband has is quite the irritant at times. But, then there are times it's very attractive. In this instance, I'll admit, I was a bit annoyed. I thought to myself, Go your way and let them go theirs. No rules that say we GOTTA go the same way. But as I sat there, I saw the godly humility in him that draws me. He knew the way, but he wanted to make sure others also knew. Sounds a lot like the call of God's people. We can't have people out here lost. Sometimes, that requires us to fall back and be humble, not necessarily be out in front. And also to try not to leave people in our holy dust. Instead, we have to sometimes get over and ride behind people to help them find their way on this crazy highway of life.

Matthew 4:19 says, " And he said to them, “Follow me...". We have a spiritual navigator. He is our GPS God. Provides. Salvation. Our ultimate destination is heaven, through salvation and living under the Word of God. If that's the case, there are quite a few ways to get there. We'll all take our own paths. Sometimes our paths will cross. Sometimes, some of us will know the way and have to help others along. Either way, we are all trying to get to the same place. Some of us will lead, some of us will follow, but God is the ultimate guide...so we might need to get over to let Him lead us in the right direction. Be Blessed. XOXO
