in most languages it is one word for the slpit meanings we assign in English. The word in Spanish for justice and righteousness is: justicia.

Thanks for asking.

I agree, Angie. If we look at our free will as our “steering wheel” of life, then it will be our own hands choosing the direction. As long as we heed God’s instruction, we won’t get lost.

Makes complete sense. That is the thing with analogies – they can only go so far.

Your quote reminded me of a quote I heard from Corrie Ten Boom:

“Prayer is best used as a steering wheel, rather than a spare tire.”

I am honored that you read my blog, Maureen. Thank you for gracing me with your presence here.

I read this entry twice yesterday and I’ve been thinking about it since, you are right and I love the reflection.

I think that allowing God to take the steering wheel of our lives it’s something that we must do daily, it is very easy to feel self sufficient or to think we can do it all with our own strength.
Thank you for sharing♥

I agree to a point, but it reminds me of that Carrie Underwood song, Jesus take the wheel. (if you haven’t heard it, I love it!). We are ultimately in charge of our wheel, but we need to realize that we cannot do anything (positive) without His help. One of the lines says,

Jesus take the wheel, cuz I can’t do it on my own.

If we give him complete control, we end up driving our wheels they way He would be driving His. (if that makes sense)
