Learn How to Steer
Filed Under Devotional
I had new Internet service installed yesterday. I spent far too much time downloading large files so I could see just how fast it was. My son and I started giggling at seeing it fly. It was simple entertainment.
Sometimes, fast is fun. Sometimes, fast is good. At other times, fast is scary. Instead of a fun ride, it feels more like being in a car with no brakes. The same speed can exhilarate or terrify depending on the circumstances of the event. Those who excel at high speed sports know how important it is to know your route and constantly adjust to stay on course.
Whether you think your life is moving too fast or not, these are good rules to live by. Do you know the course you are taking?
“Make level paths for your feet
and take only ways that are firm.” Proverbs 4:26
“In his heart a man plans his course
but the Lord determines his steps.” Proverbs 16:9
Do you know how to adjust?
“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1
By what standard to you make your adjustments?
Life moving fast may be exactly what you were meant to go through right now. If you can’t control the speed, you might want to learn how to steer.
