Good morning…
I happened upon an interesting quote by Corrie Ten Boom, who, along with her family members, helped many Jewish people escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home.
“Is prayer
your steering wheel
or your spare tire?”
A spare tire is used only in emergencies. Pulled out briefly, sparingly, then tucked back into a peripheral place to await the next emergency.
A steering wheel is essential to our daily drive. In whatever direction this central component turns, everything else follows. As we invest in our conversational relationship with God, sharing our deepest concerns for ourselves and for others, we are gently guided down the path we are uniquely designed to follow.
Remaining in constant contact, we experience the promises of God unfolding before us. “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know; I will guide them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness into light before them and rugged places into plains. These things I will do [for them], and I will not leave them abandoned or undone,” (Isaiah 42:16, AMP).
