I was driving to work today and the sun kept messing with me. The road I drive in on curves back and forth a lot and so I just couldn't seem to get my visor in the right sopt. One minute it was perfect and then the next I had to lean over to one side of the car to block out the sun. It seemed like every 10 seconds I was trying to readjust so I could see. And whenever that happens I get irritated at the sun. Why can't it just stay in one place? Why does it have to keep moving and distracting me?
In reality the sun doesn't move like that. It is always constant. And, it has a right to be there. My problem is I move around a lot and sometimes I don't want to see the sun. I want it there, but I don't want it as the focus. It got me thinking, how many times in life do I get irritated with God because He is being contstant and faithful and I want to focus on something else. How many times does God show up in my time, money, relationships, when I wish He would just take a back seat so I could do what I wanted to do. My life curves a lot more than it should and as a result I can easily get irritated with God for being faitfhul. I bet if I didn't drive on such a curvy road the sun would be in the perfect spot to bring light, warmth and joy to my life.
Here's to hoping we can learn to drive straighter so the Son is a delight in our lives.
