Yesterday evening toward the end of the work day it started to rain, it rained large rain drops in mass quantities, and it was beautiful. Well, as I was driving home I was contemplating on how do I explain, even to my own self, the driving factor behind my Faith. So I came up with this, as I contemplated on exactly what was happening: God you are my windshield wipers!
Most would laugh at the idea that God could be compared to something as “insignificant” as windshield wipers, when there are many other things I could use to compare, but I think this comparison is true, and profound, besides, God is simple, mighty and powerful, yet still simple. Once you really begin to know God and listen to his Word, you will come to see this. Well anyways, I see God as the windshield wipers of my life because ever since he has come into my life he has done nothing but help clear away the rubbish and make my sight clear, clear to see his vision for my life and the blessings he has for me.
Before God, my life was like a window shield in a storm without working wipers. My vision, my path, the direction I was going, was so unclear, and confusing, blurry and distorted, but most importantly, dangerous. So picture yourself driving in this storm and not being able to wipe away any of those rain drops coming down at you...scary isn’t it. Wouldn’t you want to have those wipers working? Well God has done that for me. My Faith in Him remains strong not only because I have been told or taught to believe, but because I can SEE all the blessing of God, he has come into my life and wiped away all of those rain drops coming down at me. Rain drops are anything and everything that will get in the way of my walk with God, to list a few: self doubt, selfishness, fear, insecurity, doubt in financials, fear of where I am going, fear of being foolish, temptations, fear of abandonment, or holding back because my first instinct is to worry what friends and family who do not believe in God think of me.
These “rain drops” are still in my life, they always will be, but as the rain falls I look to God and ask for his strength because I know he will help wipe them clean. These worldly worries I do not need to fret on any longer, and this is the driving factor behind my Faith, for God has been true to his word and “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13. And boy does It take a lot of strength to keep up and hold on tight to my Faith in today’s world, because there are so many people and things trying to distract me and tear it down.
