Turn “Thrown Under the Bus” to “Driving the Bus”

We’ve all heard the saying “I felt like I was thrown under the bus!” And, in fact – we didn’t just hear someone else say it…..we said it ourselves. You know….when a co-worker disparaged us so they could get the promotion instead of us; or someone took the credit for something we worked hard and long for; or someone blamed us for something we didn’t do; or the person who makes an excuse for everything – it’s never their fault for a situation. Or, quite frankly, the enemy of our soul has continued to “throw us under the bus” by causing fear, anger, accusations, worry, disappointment and discomfort in our lives.

Well, it’s time to put a stop to being thrown under the bus and time to START DRIVING THE BUS. We can put a halt to the victim mentality, and those tests and messes can become our testimony and message when we get behind the wheel of the bus. And when we’re driving, we can steer that bus all around and pick up other people who feel like they’ve been thrown under the bus and help them bounce back to being in charge, too.

Bottom line…..it’s time we refuse to give up and begin to overcome the antics of the enemy. Through those times we can get better instead of being bitter. Romans 8:28 “All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes.” That GOOD…is when we start driving the bus, where we are not only blessed, but those around us….are blessed because we are the BEST drivers that are helping to impact their lives for GOOD, too!
