The day my car flew off the road

I recently took a long hard look at the sidewalk my car jumped over when I hit a skid some time ago. I cannot believe the car cleared the sidewalk, slid down a small embankment and came to a stop with all 4 tires on the ground.

That sidewalk is a powerful reminder that I don’t control anything!!  A miracle happened within a split second, because God was in charge of that moment.

God is in charge of your moment right now!! The one you are clinging onto with a vice grip. Relax that grip!

I had no choice that day but to let go of the steering wheel and cry for God to help me.

When I called home to tell my family, all of my control was gone. I couldn’t even talk as the tears were flowing in my distress.

You can’t look cute and keep up appearances of control when the wheel just spun out of your hand! Drop the facade and cry. You will look ugly but bawl those tears out.

My family rushed out of the house and came for me but, while waiting in shock, a stranger knocked on my window. He had seen the accident and came to make sure I was ok.

Imagine that! God intervened in that skid and then he sent a random stranger to comfort me until my family rushed to my rescue.

God always sends help when you recognize you are spinning out of control and cry out to him. Someone is going to knock on your door … might be a stranger….might be a friend…always an angel.

So that sidewalk is precious to me now…no longer terrifying. I can pass it and think, “God you are sooooo good! Look at what you helped me to survive”.

If you are skidding now, just remember this much – God wants to do a miracle in your life. So let him have the wheel. One day, not today, maybe not even next year but one day, you will remember that moment and think, “wow I survived”!
