Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

In the horse and buggy days, a man was driving with his wife along a dangerous road. At a very narrow place the wife became frightened and seized the rein nearest to her. Her husband quietly passed her the other rein and let go.

Then, more frightened than ever she said, “Oh, don’t you let go!”

He answered, “Two people cannot drive one and the same horse; either I must drive or you must.”

Then she gave him the reins and he drove safely past the danger.

So it is with God and us. He is more than willing to let me grab the reins to show me what a mess I can make out of a situation. When we are willing to ‘let go and let God,’ He will lead us safely home. James 4:6 tells us,

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.”

As tempting as wanting to be in charge is, we must as the Greyhound Bus commercial says, ‘Leave the driving to God.’

May God bless and keep you today.
