I don't know a great deal about race car driving or the sport itself but I do know that they have spotters. The spotters are people that watch from a higher vantage point to give news of impending danger on the track. They warn of problems ahead and behind as well as in the current position.
The driver is suited in protective gear and has so many things going on in the car that makes it impossible for him to see anything but right in front or slightly to each side. He is unable to see the dangers himself.
Like the race car driver, we too have a spotter. His name is Jesus. He has cleared the way for the future in eternity and has given instruction on how to navigate through life. He can keep us on track by showing us the details that are important from our past, but most importantly, warn us of impending danger through discernment and the Word.
It's His job to be our spotter but it's our job, just like the driver, to listen and make necessary maneuvers to avoid a crash.
A race car driver must trust his spotter and follow his instruction in order to have a successful career. We must follow God and His instruction if we want to be prepared for our finish line and that is eternal life.
