Most backseat drivers don't really know how to drive, but they will annoy you with instructions where to turn and when to hit the break. Backseat drivers control the real drivers. According to surveys, the worst backseat drivers are spouses and mothers. If you're lucky enough, you'll receive more than road sign lectures.
In our lives, backseat drivers abound too. These are the people who have the habits of controlling other people's lives. They 'know' what's good for you, and issue a prophesy of doom for those who don't follow them. These people are usually close to us: parents, friends, siblings and 'best' friends.
Life is a journey. It's a continuous learning. God allowed us to commit mistakes in order to learn. But sad to say some people won't allow us to commit mistakes. They take our rights to fall down once in a while.
The Father allowed His Son, Jesus, to fall down to give us the courage to get up. Mary, His Mother, did not hide while Jesus suffered; she actively suffered but believed as well that He will emerge victorious…
Who controls your life?
Whose lives do you control?
Who should take control of our lives?
In the journey we call life,
the safest thing to do
is to sit back and let Jesus take the driver's seat.
Father,
Forgive us for trying to control other people’s lives.
Give us the courage to hand over to You
The wheels of our lives,
In Jesus' Name.
Amen...
