I'd forgotten.

I was listening to our local Christian radio station the other day. It's what I do if I can sneak it in between DVDs playing in back. The announcer mentioned an analogy about a child learning to ride a bike. How we are like that child and we can get unbalanced by the things around us. Troubles, fears, trauma, even just the busyness of everyday life. She went on to remind the listeners that we can trust that God has His hand firmly on the back of our bike, keeping us steady, even helping to steer us along. I was so surprised by my reaction after hearing this. I had a light bulb moment. I thought 'duh', I had forgotten. I have been overwhelmed with my life lately. It helped me to remember that He is always there. Even when I don't acknowledge Him or remember His presence. He is always guiding me and keeping me steady. It was no accident I heard that.
