Only God In Disguise

True story. There we were, flying down the biggest expressway in the Mid-West, bumper to bumper with cars going way over the speed limit. Yeah, that's the way they roll but not the way I roll, especially with my four children aboard. The brake light came on for the third time that week. Each time I had them fixed by a (reputable?) mechanic. My oldest daughter, about 10 years old at that time, looked at the light, then did a side glance at me, saying nothing. The youngest, about 3 years old, lay with his head in my lap and his feet on his sister. Seat belts weren't required at that time. My other two children who were seated in the back were quiet. Have you ever noticed when God is working, everything gets a little quiet. Just knowing my God answers prayer, I said, "What shall I do Lord?". The only phone I had was inside my quiet room, so you can listen in if you want to. Father said..."Get off next exit". When I got off the exit, the left lane was backed up to the street, the right lane was clear. Until, a semi trailor, impatient with waiting in line, began to pull out in front of me. Since the exit was on an upgrade, I was probably going faster than before. I beeped the horn loudly, and like a cartoon truck in a Walt Disney movie, the truck moved sideways back into line. Praise God! Can trucks move like that? But now me and mine, faced crossing a blind traffic corner, into a large downtown shopping area. 

May I stop here to tell you, God don't lead you where He hasn't prepared the way. We hit the street. I hadn't seen an alley way there but I was guided to go in that direction and there it was. Driving wildly into that alley, we were safe for just a short time. Closing quickly onto more shopping streets, I could see the buildings opening up into a large parking space. "In here", immediately I drove into that blessed space. Note.. in the middle of a working day, all the stores open, no cars were parked, no trucks, no bicycles, no motorcycles. No people walking, just us going round and round, in a circle, on two wheels, until we finally stopped. What happened? We limped home, with lights flashing. Even today, my daughter still looks at me sideways, as if to say, "I remember".  

Here's something to think about...
1) "Yea, though I walk through the valley..."(Psalms 23:4)
2) "If I ascend up into Heaven..."(Psalms 139:8)
3) "God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him..." (John 4:24)
4) "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby...(Hebrews          13:2)
5) "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? (Psalms 8:4)
6) Jesus never fails (Proof, the kids and I are fine).
