Jesus Take The Wheel

I love Danny. Woohoo! GO GOKEY!
Seriously, this year American idol rocks! 2 Worship Leaders within the top 3 finalists, shows how awesome Christ is in our lives! haha.

Anyway, today is about the song "Jesus Take The Wheel"
If you haven't heard it before, check it out!




Wow. What a song isn't it!
First time I heard it, it really did touch me. Thought it really meant something special.

You know, I was involved in a car accident 2 years ago, that thankfully wasn't too serious (as in I wasn't injured.) BUT I'M STILL A VERY SAFE DRIVER HOR!!! EVERYONE WOULD VOUCH FOR THAT!
Anyway, to share my experience of being in an accident, it's like everything was going in slow motion. As I realised that this car was about to hit into my side door, I just didn't know what to do. It was like at that moment, I realised there was really nothing I could do to avoid it. It was going to happen. It may seem like a cliche, but I really did see my life flash before my eyes. Everything went into slow motion as I watched as the car came closer and closer, and all I could do was brace myself for impact. I think i remembered saying "Lord If its your will, please let me live." Thankfully, the car swerved a little and avoided hitting my door, ratehr just hitting my front area.

As I reflect on this song, I realised it was literally how I felt when the accident happened. It encapsulated everything I wanted to say to the Lord. Jesus, take the wheel. Take it from my hands. I can't do this on my own, I'm letting everything go to You. Lord, give me one more chance, save me from this road I'm on, Jesus take the wheel.

This song also represents our lives. Like I mentioned in the devotion, our walks are very much like a car ride. The beginning of the ride is our journey in life and the destination is our 'death'.
So right now, who is God in your life?

I used to have Him as my spare wheel when I was younger. I thought I didn't need Him in my life. Everything was going well and good. And it seemed like I was invincible. But I still called myself a Christian. Cos I wanted Him to be my spare tyre in life. Should anything have happened, He became someone I turned to for help in the worst case, or someone to blame for the things that have happened. But I realised that that's not the way it works.

We sometimes leave God out of the decisions we make, and really out of our daily live. But we are so quick to pull Him out when exams come, or when something bad happens.

But Its time we use Him as a steering wheel in our lives. He should be the one who steers our every decision to the direction He has for us. Whatever it is, no matter how small it is, or even how big it is, it should be committed up to God.

And how do we do that? Through prayer and devotions.
Commit it to the Lord and seek His will in your lives. There's a famous phrase that goes WWJD-What Would Jesus Do? I kinda like it cos whenever i want to say something or do something bad, I think what would Jesus do? Would He have done it if He were me?
It sometimes saves me from saying something stupid or bad that would either hurt me or hurt others.
Another advice is to just seek Him everyday and encounter Him everyday. We all know after Encounter that He is real in our lives. So seek what He wants in your lives and where He is steering You to go today!


God Loves, and so do I.
