Yes Cheryl I did push the buttons sometimes and you know what? It set off these loud alarms and I could have crawled under the seats. It is always best to be obedient.

Wonderful blog, Cheryl.  I am like Mike, I wanna push the buttons & DRIVE!  I am learning to leave it all to Him, to trust Him more each day.  Sometimes the desire to be in control rises up--oh but I can not possibly truly be in control!!  My "in control" is so way out of control!!!!  It is so much better to leave it all up to Him.  Have a great day!

Who can resist a button, especially when you don't know what to expect?? Ya we all push that buttons, but He teaches us daily to control ourselves and stay away from the driver seat that place is Reserved!!

I have learned how to ignore the buttons and allow God to drive. It took me a few years but this method allows me to just relax and enjoy the ride/view...........

I think it is our tendency to want to do it all ourselves and our way...at least I am guilty of that!  It is hard to let go and let God take control.  But we have to do it, or we will keep hitting our heads against a brick wall.  Great blog, and I love the analogy!

I got to ride along in a police car once, but I failed to make the connection you did.  That is a great way to see our relationship with God.  Thanks.

I was praying last night and God gave me the same thought:

"God simply asks that we sit in 'His car of life', put on our seat-belts and let Him do the driving."

In NT language, He says, 'Abide in Me'

Thanks.

I'm sure your ride was interesting, to say the least!  What a shame for the woman to be beaten for anything, but over a cigarette lighter!   I know what you mean about the temptation to punch all those buttons. :)  Good advice you gave, get in HIS car and let HIM do the driving!  Great blog, Cheryl.

So is there a parallel between don't play with the knobs and the buttons and dont eat the fruit of tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Cheryl,

When we try to drive our 'car' (life), we have all the difficulties in this world.  When we learn to 'ride the car' with Him in the driver's seat and tell Him, "Lord, may Your will be done", we have a comfortable 'life journey' as the problems are taken care by Him.  This is a great narration and I really enjoyed reading this and was reminded of my own 'car ride' in life.
