The Chicken & The Wheel- Friday Praise & Pray (for others) March 31, 2023

Have you seen that gif with the chicken sitting up on the steering wheel of a car? Here, take a look at the visual.

Funny, right?

Well, in the world, this is not only dangerous but illegal if it happens on public roads. Still, we can all agree, this is a hilarious image.

But what if I told you you were that chicken? You're sitting on the steering wheel of your life barely able to hang on. Would it still be funny to you?

It shouldn't be. So many of us think because we can see the road in front of us, and we can feel the wind from our car flying down the highway, that we really have a handle on the highway of life.

Look at that chicken. Cute as can be but it doesn't have hands or feet to properly guide the vehicle (yes, I know there's a driver we just can't see in the image). However, you and I also have a Driver who is willing to navigate us up and down the highway of life - if only we would cede the wheels to Him.

I pray we shall each stop being the cute chicken that sits on the steering wheel thinking "I've got this!" Truly cede the wheel of the car of your life to the Lord. Let Him have it and don't try to take it back. He is well equipped and has promised that His plans for you are good if you let Him take the wheel.

The choice is yours. Once you give Him control of your life, please don't renege. If you slip up, there is grace so confess, repent, and let the Lord put you back in your seat as He resumes driving you. It is well with your soul, IJMN Amen. God bless you!

PS: no chickens were harmed in the creation of this message.
