"I
will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight..." (Isaiah 45:2
NKJV)
"Trust
in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all
your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs
3:5-6 NKJV)
When learning to ride a motorcycle, your first instinct when
entering a curve is to lean in the opposite way of the bike, believing it will
counteract the weight and keep you balanced and upright. We are hesitant and fearful of leaning with
the bike, believing that we will fall and get hurt.
The thrill and success comes when we let go and stop trying
to control the bike. When we let go of this
fear and lean with the bike, we navigate curves successfully. We become one with the bike and find
ourselves gliding smoothly around the snaky curves. Motions become fluid and natural.
We go through our lives, much in this same manner. Instead of following the path the Lord has
laid out for us, we lean in the opposite direction. We want to do what feels safe and comfortable
to us. We want to do what we think is
the right path. We don’t want to fall. We don’t want to fail. We don’t want to get outside of our comfort
zones.
It is when we let go and lean with Him that our lives
navigate more smoothly. He sees every
twist, turn, bump and obstacle in the road ahead. He navigates us through life when we lean
with Him and relinquish our need for constant control over our lives.
Let go and let God.
Become apart of the bike. Trust
Him and lean with Him!
