Give God The Reins - Give it to HIM

Looking forward to a brighter tomorrow Can help us get through a gloomy today. Give God The Reins… Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. ---- Proverbs 3:5
Cliff Schimmels says: "When I was young my dad had a team of horses. One day he said to me, 'Son, would you like to drive?' So I took the reins. I was in control. I was driving. But the plodding bothered me, it was too slow. So I clucked the horses along and they began to trot. Then Babe and Blue our two horses, came up with a better idea. They decided that if they ran we would get home faster. Soon they were running as fast as I've ever seen horses run. As the prairie-dog holes whizzed by I concluded that we were in a dangerous situation, so I tried my best to slow down the runaway team. I tugged on the reins until my hands cramped. I cried and pleaded, but nothing worked. Old Babe and Blue just kept running. I glanced over at my dad and he was just sitting there, watching the world go by. By now I was frantic. My hands were cut from the reins, tears streaming down my face, frozen from the winter cold. Finally in desperation I turned to my dad and said, 'Here, take the reins, I don't want to drive any more.' Now that I'm older and people call me grandpa, I re-enact that scene at least once a day." Regardless of how old we get or how capable we think we are, there's always that moment when the only way out is to turn to our Heavenly Father and say, "Here, take the reins, I don't want to drive any more." And He will... but you've got to give them to Him! Don’t give up… Give it to Him! PRAISE GOD BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
