"God can't steer a parked car" can be taken a challenge to shift your life into motion, and along the way God would guide you in the right direction. It's an interesting thought, but it's not the way God works.

At times, when Moses was in the wilderness, God kept the Israelites in one place. He led them by a cloud, and when it stayed still for many day, "the children of Israel did not journey" (Numbers 9:19). Waiting isn't always easy, but sometimes God wants us to stay right where He has put us. The psalmist reminds us, "Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart" (Psalm 27:14).

You may feel that you're stuck and just spinning your wheels in your service for God. But keep your heart open to God's leading. Then you'll be ready to shift gears when you hear God say, "Let's go this way."
