God
orders our stops as well as our steps. I've always struggled to
understand a statement I heard when I was a young Christian. "God can't
steer a parked car." I took that as a challenge to shift my life into
motion, and along the way God would guide me in the right direction.
It's an interesting thought, but it's not always the way God works.
Occasionally, God does want us to "stay parked" for a while. At times,
when Moses was in the wilderness, God kept the Israelites in one place.
He led them by a cloud, and when it stayed still for many days, "the
children of Israel did not journey. (Num. 9:19). Waiting isn't always
easy, but sometimes God wants us to stay right where He has put us. You
may feel that you're stuck and just spinning your wheels in your service
for God. But keep your heart open to God's leading. Then you'll be
ready to shift gears when you hear God say, Let's go this way.
Blessings
