"God is my copilot..." NOT

For many years I just loved the bumper sticker "God is my copilot." I first saw it on VW busses, then cool looking "Hippie vans", then '68 Dodge Dart's. I actually had one in the 70's... Slant 6 engine with push button gears on the dash, 225,000 miles and not a drip of oil....ever anywhere. I can hear Archie and Edith singing "Those were the days!" We the people were in charge, remember the song "It's your thing do what you want to do?" Oh yea. God was MY copilot. I called Him into action when I needed to.."Help me Mr. Wizzard!!!"

Then, grace came upon me (actually it was a proverbial brick upside the head). I learned that "I" wasn't in charge, quite a humbling experience to say the least.

Today in Rob's blog, (read it here)... we're reminded that Jesus said in Matthew 16:24 "“Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am."


Any time I see that bumper sticker now I cringe and pray that they too catch on one day, before it's too late.
