God's Driving Lessons

The countdown has begun...Our oldest will be eligible for their driving license at the end of the month. Yikes!
Said driver is pretty cautious behind the wheel. However, said driver doesn't listen as well as they did when first starting out. Rolling of eyes has ensued. Not good.
Despite all they have learned, they still need coaching and coaxing from Mom and Dad. To my great surprise, Dad is more nervous and yells more than Mom. I guess Mr. Phlegmatic does indeed have some buttons to be pushed. Very interesting.
Through it all, we have prayed. Let's face it, even the best drivers who have driven for decades have their moments. And accidents. Add in a little road rage and it can be a scary place out there.
The other day while driving amist the yelling from Dad and the white knuckle moments-only a few-I had a thought. What would God's driving lessons be like? He'd yell less and compliment more. We'd listen loads better. No eye rolling. There's be no accidents because, well, He's God. He's in the driver's seat whether we think we're steering the car or not.
What if, just for fun, we admitted God is always in the driver's seat. Not just when we drive but for life in general. Hmmm...Lo, I am with you always. Sound familiar? Jesus told the disciples that before He ascended into Heaven. And of course, we know He is always with us too. Nice. Makes you rethink an awfully lot of things. Including driving lessons.
