Everyday deserves a chance

"This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it"

We sing this song all the time (actually may be in the Children ministry), but do we really mean it? Recently I started reading a book called Everyday deserves a chance. It reminds me of this song. Everyday day is made by God, and everyday is a brand new day. But too often we don't give it a chance.

Imagine driving your car to work this morning. You go down the street, but you feel that the car seems to be slower than usual. You thought may be it just need a tune up or may be its not warmed up yet. You keep driving. And then you go into the stop and go traffic. You are late for work and you're in a hurry. You slam on the gas and then slam back on the brake repeatedly. You thought you will get to work faster if you push hard on the gas, but it actually doesn't make a difference. When you finally got to work, you found out that you handbrake is still on. That's why the car seems so slow.

I know that most of you probably is not that stupid, driving the car with both the handbrake and brake on all the time. But is this the case how we treated our life? Too often our guilt for the sin and wrong doing we did yesterday drag on us like the handbrake. And then our fear or worry for the future stop us from going forward like the brake. So how are we suppose to move forward when you're pressing on the brake and pulling on the handbrake at the same time?

As a Christian, are we different from other people? Sometimes I think if being a Christian is not making a change in our life, we just move on everyday like anybody else, then what good does it make? Christian is not just a religion, its not just leading people to good, but its a way of life. With God's grace, our yesterday's sins are forgiven. His oversight removes our fear for the future. Although He doesn't guarantee our road will be smooth or straight, but He guarantee something better. He will be with us no matter where we go.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

The question is, do you want to drive down the road with God?

First Post

Finally, I've started my own blog. Trying to set it up for months now, and never got the chance to start it. I think this will be a good platform to show my friends what's going on with my life. Its not just about cars. Although I'm crazy about cars, my priorities are starting to shift as life moves on. With my work schedule, its getting harder and harder for me to gather and chat with my friends, especially when I will be switching to night shift again.

I name the blog Driver's seat because I think life is like driving in a car. Life is driven by many different things. Sometimes we know where we are going, or sometimes we just follow the road with no destination in mind when we lost focus in life. There are many uncertainties and obstacles on the road that are out of our control. How we reach to it and handle the situation depends on the driver.

Let the journey begins......
