~Matthew 21:9 “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”~
I wanted to share another part of my ever growing testimony to show believers and non-believers that Jesus is real, and that he always takes care of his children.
The other day while driving home, I was involved in a car accident. It had been steady raining that day; so I slowed down because I knew I couldn’t compete with the heavy rain drops beating against my car. Well while going about 30 mph my car began to slide across the road, and out of habit I put my foot on the brakes to try and stop, but the car only picked up more speed. I started praying, " Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" over and over while my daughters screamed in the back seat. I gripped the steering wheel tightly to prepare myself for the impact. The car drove off the road and into a ditch that was completely flooded. I was in shock at this point. Afterwards, a stranger tapped on my window, and I slowly turned and looked at him, but I couldn’t hear him, but his lips were asking “Are you okay?” and I looked at him while still tightly gripping the steering wheel and said “Huh? What?” So he opened the car door and advised me and my daughters to get out and sit in his vehicle, because the flooded ditch could sweep the car away even further. When we finally got in his car my whole body began shaking and tears welled up in my eyes, because the realization of what had just happened hit me. The stranger looked at me and said “Man, you guys are lucky! that car could have flipped over!” Finally coming back to my senses I looked at him and said “No sir, we are blessed!” I don’t believe in luck.” Well anyway to make a long story short the car was towed out of the ditch and the only damage was a broken hub cap, and the tire had to have mud removed from behind it. Final result? There wasn’t a scratch on us or the car.
This episode made me think about how people usually use the word luck to describe the things that happen in their lives. After I became saved I stopped using that word, because I give all glory to God for everything. Luck is for unbelievers who believe in leprechauns, Santa Claus, and all that fantasy stuff. If you believe in Jesus and asked him to take control of your life you will recognize the miraculous things that he does to show you that he had you in the palm of his hands all along.
Can anyone out there relate?
Be Blessed *Y’all.
