If Jesus is your co-pilot, you are sitting in the wrong seat.

[Riverwalker]

I find that the more I strike out on my own, the m0re trouble I get into.  If Jesus is not my captain, if the Holy Sprit is not leading me but playing catch up, sooner or later this plane of life I am flying is going to end up as a smudge on a mountain top. 

More than a few of us, have Jesus along for the ride when he should be piloting our lives

A Pilot

• Selects the flight plan
• Adjusts the flight plan  as needed
• Is responsible for everyone on the plane
• Makes the final call when it is safe to fly and when we should stay grounded
• Flies the plane
• Issues orders that are beneficial both for the journey and the passengers

A Co-Pilot

• assists, the pilot,
• Files the pilots flight plan
• Takes care of the check lists
• Makes sure the fuel is on b0ard
• Occasionally takes the wheel and flies
• Follows orders

Jesus should be leading, and we should be following

Proverbs 3:5Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

-------------

Romans 8: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

-------------

John 14:4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Life as a Christian means putting God first, submitting to His will, and trusting in his guidance, wisdom and knowledge to make sure we are going to arrive at our intended destination.

If you have brought Jesus along for the ride, do not be surprised if you find the seat next to is empty right about the time the mountain top looms large in front of you.   He will help you in your disaster, but with Him as your pilot, there will be no disasters.

Let Him direct your path....I was in ignorance in that area for a long time...no wonder everything went wrong...I put myself first.?...

Jesus ,every morning I wake up....Lord please lead me through my day....i don’t believe that it will necessarily be a good day....but I hand it over to God and not worry...

Very true. The sad part of this is that many who say they are a Christian have Jesus Christ sitting in the wrong seat.

Don't fret because the Lord is faithful to work upon each and every one our Father delivers into His hand. What seems like darkness is only that time which precedes the dawning of joy, when the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in his wings. The prophets bore witness of the decrees and promises of the Lord time and again and it is good for us to visit them often.   

There is a morbid fascination with the estate of others and this is a snare of the flesh, that way which seems right to a man but ends in death. It's a fountain of grumbling and discontent delivering strife, not life. Do not sit in judgment of our neighbor unless we are found guilty and are trespassers ourselves. Has the Lord revealed the secrets of their hearts to us? Do we know His will and purpose for our neighbor, whether they are brethren or a stranger?

I was judged by others and found to be lacking but in the fullness of time, the Lord revealed His hand and what was reserved in secret when they judged me was revealed for all to see. Their house is now abandoned and many who judged me harshly fell away. Only a few remain.

I am the pilot of this my plane.
I am expected to know how.
I am responsible how I fly.
God is my navigator.
I read His flight plan, KJV.
He gives me course changes and  direction.
I listen, and He directs, through the H.S.
Through storms or fog, when I cannot see.
I trust His direction, He made the map.
He makes straight my path!
I am safe following Him.
He leads me home.

When the song "Jesus Take The Wheel" came out I said, "Wonderful!! Someone has written a song about my long time thought!"  By then I had figured out that each time I took the wheel there was a "crash and burn" episode in my life.

I fear that many in the pulpit, teaching and preaching, also have the Lord sitting in the wrong seat.  They are held even more accountable for this than the pew sitter.
