God Cannot Steer a Parked Car

Empty parking garage with cars.

When a car is parked, there is no way that it will go anywhere. Someone would have to switch on the car and start driving for it to move from its location.

In the same way, God cannot steer a parked car! How often do we ask God “Show me and I’ll go”, but that is not how driving works.

The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

Genesis 12:1-3 NIV

God told Abram to GO, and THEN, He will SHOW. God still works in that same way. In order for God to guide us, we need to be open to taking action so that He can steer us.

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1 - NKJV
