Habakkuk 3:19
“The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!” (The Amplified Bible)
A number of years ago I was leaving Portland, Oregon on my way to our home in Olympia, Washington. I was on I-5 that stretches from Canada to Mexico along the Pacific coast. It is a very busy freeway!
About two blocks ahead of me was a wrecker towing a somewhat decrepit vehicle. The truck headed for an exit ramp, but the left rear tire on the old car decided it wanted to stay on the freeway. As it careened into the heavy traffic ahead of me, I saw vehicles swerving to miss it.
I was surrounded by traffic on both the left and right. I suddenly saw that the tire was in my lane of traffic and starting to tumble. There was nothing I could do but to brace for the impact. I prayed for the Lord to protect me in the crash that was due to happen in a few seconds. The tire suddenly flew into the air and I was stunned to see it fly over the top of my car, missing me by inches. Behind me the scene was chaos. I prayed for those who were in the crush.
I know that the Lord does not always lead us clear of trials, but praise the Lord for those times when we can feel His mighty hand protecting us. I want to walk close to the Lord and trust Him to be with me in the dangers that tumble our way.
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
