You see that? You see that little lizard? Look closer. Yep, that’s a little green lizard riding on my windshield wiper at 55 mph…. okay, so maybe a little faster! But I did slow down after I saw him! That little guy hitched a ride, unintentionally, and found himself off the farm on the way to town! I watched him all the way to Mobile and he hung on! When I stopped at red lights, or at stop signs, he never relaxed. He never tried to make a run for it. He held on. As I drove, I encouraged the little guy to hold on. I drove a little slower. An when I wanted to wash the windshield, I fought the urge to turn on the wipers! When I got to my destination and turned the car off, he waited a few moments before he finally decided to let go and make a run for it.
Someone today needs to hear this… hold on! Be like that little lizard. Hold on with all your might! Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it’s windy and scary. But if you let go now, it just might be over! Sometimes it isn’t our job to figure out where we are going or how in the world we are going to hold on tight enough until we get to wherever it is. It isn’t ours to question the why or how or even the when. It’s our job to hold on! In the end, we will find that the one who is in control, has His eyes on us. He sees us where we are and He’s in control. He’s driving the car and He’s monitoring the speed. He won’t let the wipers fling us away. He is faithful to uphold us, when we do our part and hold on to Him. And when we arrive at the destination, He is able to sit back and watch us walk and thrive on the path that He chose for us and live in the place that He destined us to be in. You see, that lizard didn’t plan his journey. When he got on that car for a rest, he had no idea where he would end up. But the driver knew where the road would take them. Hold on. God knows where the road is taking you. You only have to believe in Him and believe that He is faithful to get you where you are going. Hold on!
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Psalms 91:14-16 Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”
