Bumble
2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. James 3:2-4
Do you find yourself bumbling and stumbling around during your daily walk? Do you find it sometimes difficult to keep yourself in check? Many times we look to keep ourselves from following the wrong path by telling ourselves that I won't do that, I can't do that to myself, or I won't ever do that. We tend to believe ourselves until we actually do what we are trying to convince ourselves we shouldn't be doing. The problem with all of this is the "I" syndrome, I can't and I won't which typically turns into I will and I can. We have to look at someone else as the pilot and not turn to our own desires of where we think should head, but the true Pilot our Lord and Savior. I hate that bumper sticker that says God is my Co-pilot, because all that means is we rely on Him when we decide we need Him. Don't spend your time bumbling around, how about treating God as your Pilot and let Him steer your ship and guide you daily.
Have a great weekend.
