car trouble

yesterday coming home from surrey i was in the fast lane doing 100 (?) kmh. all of a sudden traffic slowed to a dead crawl. i thought there might be an accident up ahead. all of a sudden my truck lost power. as i pulled to the shoulder it powered back up so i got back into the driving lane and started to go again. then it started making other noises and i pulled right over on to the shoulder again thinking i might have a flat tire. did a tire check but they were fine. traffic was now picking up speed and i wondered how i would get back into the flow of traffic. a space opened up and i got in and then another space opened up and i got over to the slow lane to get to an exit and off the freeway. as i picked up speed, not much more than a crawl, the noise went away and i made it off the freeway. by the time i got home everything seemed fine.

i had been in a hurry and when i saw the traffic stopped i wondered if i might be late for my granddaughters dance benefit.

as i wondered what would have happened if my truck had lost power while i was going 100 kmh in heavy traffic i saw God's hand in it. there was no accident. nothing that i could see that would have caused the traffic to back up and stop.

give thanks in everything - you may or may not see God's hand in it but He really does cause all things good to happen for those who love Him.
