Getting Your Vehicle Worked On (New Devotional)

[jaycubsfan]

I remember my first car. It was a white 1978 Camero. There was a hole in the floor board because my dad left the window open on it for 6 months while it sat at his car lot and the rain softened the floor board so bad that the first time i tried to put on the "Bright Lights" (in older cars the switch was a little pedal on the floor board) my foot

Great devotional and just in time. I'm supposed to be doing a concert at church on april 30th as a fundraiser for some college money. And I'm scared to death. Not because I'm going to be getting up in front of people and singing, I do that all the time. But I'm going to be the one in the spotlight and I'm going to be God's vehicle that night and I've never been put into a situation like this. I want Him to use me, but I'm scared that I'm not going to live up to His expectations or something. Doing a concert puts a pressure on me performing that I've never felt before. Sometimes letting God use me as a vehicle is like standing through a doorway, the one God wants me to go through, that's pitch black on the other side when there's a closed door right next to it that has a mural of what path I think would be best to take. I can't see the floor through that door. I know that if God says for me to step through it, there must be a floor there somewhere, but I'm still hestitant to take that step

I'll be praying for you

It is scary to step through those doors but our hope must come from what known about God and that He won't give us something or allow us to go through something that we can't handle without his help, regardless if it is temptation or a blessing. God is going to use you in a powerful way, just be the vessel and flow forward what God has instore for you and the listeners.

I don't know why, but there's something that constantly causes me to stumble. I mean, I'll have let go of it, and then a little while later, just when I think I'm doing fine, it'll come along in another form and trip me up all over again. I don't know how to let go of what I want this time, even though I know that God has something better than what I think I want planned for me. I feel like if I let go this time, I'll hurt someone I don't want to hurt, even though in the long run, this person would probably have unintentionally hurt me, especially in my relationship with God. How does one reconcile knowledge of what's right with one's own desires of one's heart when they are so drastically different? Please pray for my struggle. I, once again, need to learn the lesson of letting go. Thanks.

Don't we all need to learn that lesson. Whew. It is a painful lesson but also a very important lesson in order for us to grow more into the image of God. I need prayer in the way as well.
