A Close Call: Almost Sideswiped

As Christians our goal is to always give God the glory. So do you sometimes think about ways you can give Him the glory from your life experiences, good or bad? Sometimes I do. And for me, they can come in unexpected ways or moments. For instance, just like today, I never expected this to happen to me on a quiet easy drive home… I almost got sideswiped! Let me ask you, have you ever been a passenger in a vehicle that almost was sideswiped? Like some, I’ve been a passenger, but never the driver, until today! A terrifying moment, I say the lease.

You may be familiar with the phrase, “Jesus Take the Wheel.” Well, when I was almost sideswiped today, I believe Jesus took my wheel. As my car had to swiftly maneuver into the next lane in order to avoid the oncoming vehicle’s impact, it was quite shocking! I felt as if I was moving in slow motion. I felt I had lost control. But praise be to God, something happened. Miraculously my car quickly swerved out of the oncoming car path, holding steady until the danger was passed. That said, I want to give God all the glory from this experience, because I have no doubt it was He who was covering and protecting me, guiding my feeble hands on the wheel. This is why I’m able and so thankful to share this post. This surely was a close call, but all in all, Jesus took the wheel and protected me. Oh, so grateful!

“The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” Psalm 121:8 ESV

Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I will keep on thanking you for your guidance and protection as I come and go, in Jesus name, amen.

May the blessings of the Lord be with you always!
