Perhaps you read about the little six year old Colorado boy who smashed up his grandmother's car last week.It seems this little tike has really taken a liking to "America's Favorite Neighbor," Applebees. This little guy was hungry, and in his mind, Applebees was the only logical destination. So, he grabbed his grandmother's keys, wisely transferred his booster seat from the back seat to the front, and started the car!
He only made it about 75-feet, unable to get the car out of reverse. He crossed the street, hit a curb, and continued moving backward until he slammed into a transformer and communication box, knocking out power and phone service to dozens of nearby townhomes.
Thankfully, nobody was injured, and the little driver got out of the car and informed his grandmother of what had just occur ed. If Applebees has not yet secured this little guy's endorsement services, they really need to do so. "Applebees.....So good we make six year olds think they can drive!"
If we can learn anything from the saga of this wee lad, it is in the realm of desire. Obviously, his childish decision making process is another matter, but reflect for a moment on the drive that motivated him to make "the drive."
Do we have a genuine desire to know and do the will of God? The Bible says, "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he shall give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4, NKJV).
