Is God Your Steering Wheel or Your Spare?
By Adrian Rogers
“Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.” Psalm 4:1
Many of us want to use God like our spare tires rather than our steering wheels. We want to wait until we have spiritual blowouts and see if God will come and help us rather than doing as Jesus taught us to do by seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness (See Matthew 6:33). Why does God allow us to have problems? To cause us to do exactly what Jehoshaphat did: to seek Him!
