Isaiah 41:10
– Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand!
My sister called one day and asked me to take her to a doctor’s appointment. Her appointment was a couple of days away and my calendar was free that day. I was honored to be able to do something for her. She is my oldest sister and lives by herself about 20 miles away.
I got up early the morning of the appointment and began to go pick her up. I called and notified her that was on my way. It was a little foggy that morning, but it was visible enough to drive and see everything. I was about 10 minutes away when I noticed that a car was pulling up to the edge of a road that intersected with the road that I was driving on. I had the right-of-way and just knew he would stop at the stop sign. I consider myself to be a pretty good driver and when I travel with my family, I normally want to be the one that’s driving. As I approached the area where the car on the side road was I noticed that the car continued to keep coming. At that moment everything seemed to go into slow motion. I applied my brakes but realized I did not have enough distance between my vehicle and the other vehicle to stop in time. I was headed straight at the driver of the other vehicle and without thinking but it was a reaction I turn my steering wheel to the left as to not hit the area where the driver was sitting. My vehicle hit the other vehicle on the left front tire and bounced to the left. This is when I realized that I was crossing the road into the oncoming traffic area. I know it was by the grace of GOD because this road is always busy this time of the day but incredibly no traffic was coming at this very moment. My vehicle made it completely across the road and then came to a complete stop. After that it would not move anymore on its on power. As I said earlier, I consider myself a good driver but in this situation, I could not do anything to avoid this accident. It was totally in the hands of GOD. All I can say is that GOD protected me.
GOD, I thank you for protecting me in my time of need. I have learned to trust you and not my abilities. You are truly an awesome and caring GOD. Amen.
