A while back, I had an issue with my Jeep. I took it to the shop where local Jeepers get work done, but the mechanics there told me that my issue was throwing some weird codes to their equipment. It was something that would have to be taken to the dealer. Lately, I, myself, have been feeling a lot like a broken Jeep up on the blocks. 

A Season of Repair

I’m in a season in which the Lord is revealing things to me about myself that are clearly in need of fixing. These are things like pride, fear of man, man-pleasing, and complaining. It’s like He’s diagnosing problem after problem. Meanwhile, I haven’t been out “on the road” for Him in a while. I feel “stuck,” not moving forward in my walk. I have no projects or prospects to be used by Him…just a definite feeling of waiting. 

The funny thing is that every one of those things on my list are things that I have tried to fix myself at one point. I have prayed about them, made resolutions about them, gritted my teeth and tried to push through them – but nothing has worked. I’m still as “broken” as I have ever been. 

I Can’t Fix My Jeep — or Me!

Then today it occurred to me. When I had a problem with my ACTUAL Jeep, I didn’t have the knowledge or experience to fix it. In fact, even the local shop that can do a lot of things has to pass Jeeps along to the dealer when things get too complicated. Some things have to be fixed by the one Creator of the things. 

The Bible says,

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians 3:18

It is the Holy Spirit who makes the big changes and does all the “fixing.” We just have to agree to have the work done and wait patiently until we are roadworthy once again.
