Let God in Front

Many of the Psalms encourage the anxious and doubtful to let God take charge, let him work things out. “Wait,” the Psalmist writes. But how difficult is that?

When doubts arise, when drama ensues and when fear sets in, the natural reaction is to handle it, and quickly. We often respond in haste to keep things in our control.

I love to ride four-wheelers if I’m driving them. I can’t stand being on the back. You know, a lot of my relationship with God is similar to my discomfort with going along for the ride. I want to sit up front and cut the path, and I don’t always let God get involved and take over. But true trust in him realizes that he can drive the trail much better than me.

“Wait,” the Psalmist writes, “wait.”
