I am sure all of you are familiar with a car. It has a powerful engine (depends on what car you drive) with four wheels (some 10) and it can take you from one place to another (duh?!). When you are in the car, the one in power is not you, but the driver (unless he is your personal chauffer, yet there is some power in his hands). The man behind the wheels is the one in charge and he is the one in power. Although you pay him and tell him where to go, still he can make the choice to go otherwise. You want to jump out of the car? Go on =)
Have you ever sat in a car with a driver who literally has the license to kill? I mean as in he is a speed devil. Many times I sat in this guy’s car and he just loves to do funny things with his car. A few times he threatened to leave me on the highway and a few times he actually did that (thankfully not to me though). You see, when you are in someone’s car, he is in power and he drives you.
What are we driven by?
Most of us are driven by the will to get more, more, and more. More of everything. It is good, depending on what you want more of. Wouldn’t it be scary to let someone unreliable to drive you? Someone that at any given time can just vanish and then the car lose control and you um... die? The driving force is a very powerful force and when given to the wrong person, your life is in trouble.
The driving power of our life should be given to someone who we can rely on. The world we cannot rely on. The things of the world are here today and tomorrow are gone. Material wealth is in your hands today and tomorrow it disappears. Worldly fame stands beside you, feeding you with drugs and you will never be able to live without them. The imposter of worldly success will drive you down the road of destruction, overwhelmed by your very own worldly success. You let money drive you, and to the world is where your thoughts and minds are. You let worldly achievements drive you and in the world is where your heart will be.
God says, “Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:33-34)
Do you think you have security in the hands of the world? Do you trust the world enough to let it drive your life? Or do you just want the world to drive your life?
True security can only be found in God and God alone. The world can never provide you security. So do you want to let security drive you or you want insecurity? This is choice.
The driver that drives you will determine the place he will drive you to. So chose wisely.
Colossians 3:2
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
