“I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t you take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t you take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you can take the lead”
There goes the chorus of award winning Christian Rapper, Lecrae’s song Background. The song talks about letting God take the leading role in your life and allowing Him to guide you in your daily walk.
I understand that most of us have very busy schedules. And for many the only time to think about God is when something goes wrong. You wake up, go for your morning jog, come back and start attending to some emails, take a shower, read the newspaper over breakfast and go to your car. The car refuses to start and the first thing you say is “Oh, God” followed by a little prayer, “Lord, help me!” If only you had asked God to direct your day when you woke up.
For many God is the spare wheel in their lives. They only call upon Him when they are facing challenges. If all is well, He is of no need to them. How sad. God should be the steering wheel of your life. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” The more you acknowledge Him, the more he directs your life.
Instead of calling upon God during crisis management, why not let Him take control of your entire life. You can start by creating a personal relationship with Him. Some even think twice when they want to pray, they are not even sure if God is willing to listen to them because they have been scarce for a while. Job 22:21 admonishes us to acquaint ourselves with God. If we do that good things will follow us.
The Living Bible translation of Isaiah 1:19 tells us that God wants to help you to get rich. So go ahead. Let Go and let God!
Stay blessed
