Experienced Bus Driver

For some strange reason, well who am I kidding its not a strange reason, I wake up early but take too long to leave the house. Let's just say the art work I recently started doing on my face makes me take too long to leave the house. This means that as I walk to the stage I always hope and pray to find a bus waiting for me ,one that will not too long to fill up and a bus that will take the shortest time possible, to get to my drop-off point. Today was one of those days I was lucky to get a driver who is able to manoeuvre his way out of traffic. The manoeuvring however, came with many misses that left Double Favour tightly holding onto her seat. At some point I found myself scouting for safety because I felt as though the bus would topple over. Lets just say my seat mate had a moment to chuckle over my action. In the end , the good news is, I was at my work place in time despite the heavy traffic. Its not the first bus I have boarded and the driver roughly manoeuvred his way out of the traffic. In fact I came to learn that the buses whose drivers have mastered the art of beating traffic have very loyal customers. Its worth noting that there are old buses that have very loyal passengers and there are new buses that no passenger want to board during rush hour.  At one point the passenger  I sat next to during the turbulence told me there is nothing to worry because  the driver is experienced in his work and route so nothing bad would happen . Reflecting on the incidence this evening brought the lesson for today.

See friends, in my view and understanding about life, I am of the opinion that the sole-key driver of our life should be God. He knows the route He is going to take to get us where we need to be. In the course of our journey we shall experience turbulence's as God works towards getting us to our destination in proper time. Unlike the confident passenger who knows God knows the route very well we become jittery like me and try to hold on to the seat of the bus thinking it will give us the protection we need. But see friends our confidence to get to where we need to be shouldn't come from the bus we choose to board, it should come from the driver. When we allow God to take over our journey of life we not only get to our destination in time, we also arrive safely. Lets take time to ask God to be the driver in our life journey and not look at the condition of the bus we are using to get to our destination.
