“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his
power that is at work within us,”
Ephesians 3:20
God is my co-pilot was a common refrain a few years
back.
It was even a popular bumper sticker.
It had its origin in a book and a movie way back in
the 1940’s.
While the sentiment may be well meaning, let’s not
stop at asking God to be the co-pilot.
I am reminded of a popular song a few years back sung by
Carrie Underwood and titled – Jesus Take the Wheel.
I would suggest to you that is the better choice.
One says – I’ll let you sit near me but I am the pilot
of my life.
The other says – Lord, I trust you completely – take control
of my life.
You see – God doesn’t ask for a percentage of your
heart or your devotion.
He does not say – Let me have 51%.
He asks for it all!
Why?
Because His plans for you are far, far greater than
any you may aspire to on your own.
God has greater plans for your life than you can
imagine.
Let God of the wheel and surrender control to Him.
Does doing this demand faith?
Absolutely!
But the reward of trusting God with all of your life
is immeasurably greater!
