After we got a new car, Sue said, "Maybe he'll let me steer." We laughed, for she was just a "little" girl then. "But I might wreck it," she continued. "No, you won't," her father assured her. "I'll be sitting right here beside you."
It would have been folly to allow our child to drive the new automobile by herself. But, It was all right for her to "steer" if her father was sitting close by where he could come to her assistance the moment she needed him.
Too often humans are inclined to rely upon their own resources instead of leaning upon God for divine assistance. God is waiting to come to our aid in time of need. We can avert making wrecks of our lives by turning to Him at the slightest sign of trouble. He is ready to take hold of the wheel of our lives and guide us back into the straight path.
I need not fear life if He is "close beside me."
Anywhere! anywhere!
Fear I cannot know.
Anywhere with Jesus
I can safely go.
And the LORD shall guide thee continually,
and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make
fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like
a watered garden, and like a spring
of water, whose waters fail not.
Isaiah 58:11
