God's Dashboard: in the Right Gear by ric gustafson
Most cars come with automatic transmissions. On the dashboard are three letters. The first is the letter D for Drive. In Philippians 3, the Apostle Paul urges us to reach forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal. Is your christian life moving forward and making progress?. God wants us to be shifting gears and being transformed into his image.
The letter N stands for Neutral. Sometimes like gears we slip in our spiritual lives. We become idle and our church attendance slacks off. God does not want us to be stuck in neutral. We need to tap the brakes, grab our gearshift and start on our journey again.
The letter R stands for Reverse. Everyone eventually finds ourselves in this position. God does not want us to be in this position very long. If habits or storms in life are pulling us away from God, we need to hit the brakes, stop ourselves and shift gears.
God wants us to be in Drive and go forward in our daily walk with confidence. If our christian life is stalled or going in reverse, God will get us in the right gear again if we will let him.
