Today I had to drive about an hour and a half to meet my mother half way between her house and mine to pick up my LittleMan. Every summer she takes one of the children for a 4-day weekend to spend time with just that child and bond with them. This weekend was for LittleMan. When I met them at the half way mark he had a fever, was crying, and just did not feel well. He gets in the van and lays across the back seats. Now I am a stickler about seat belts, (or so I thought) well he was so pitiful and my mom did not have AC in her car so he was sweaty and sick, so I did not make him buckle-up. As I pull onto the interstate and head toward home, my mind kept saying, "He needs to be buckled", well being the totally intuned to God person that I am (ha), I said is that God or just me thinking too hard? A couple miles down the road the two cars in front of me and the tractor trailor in front of them and who ever was in front of him all slam on their brakes going about 70 miles an hour! The tractor trailor swerved, the car in front of him as well as the car in front of me are in the median and as I am standing on my brakes and headed for the median to avoid being rear-ended by the tractor trailor behind me, LittleMan as well as Princess and DoodleBug yell out. As I catch my breath and we all veer back onto the interstate and regain speed, I quickly inform LittleMan he needs to be buckled not realizing he was way ahead of me. I asked him to forgive me for not telling him to put it on before then asked my heavenly Father to do the same while also giving Him praise and thanksgiving for sparing us and all the others around us inspite of my deliberate disobediance not to mention the gambling with the precious life He entrusted me with.
It is very important to know Gods voice. In order to know that it is Him and not flesh or evil speaking, we need to know Him well and to do that, we need to be in His Word fellowshipping with Him and listening to that small still voice.
So needless to say, when God speaks, this Mama will listen! Now to be honest, I will probably step in the flesh again and disobey, but it will not be over buckling-up!
The reason for the chaos on the interstate a car blew a tire, he got off the road safely and no one hit anyone. God just needed me to listen and learn, not have a mess on the interstate. I should have pulled over and apoligized to the guy with the blown tire. If I hadn't ignored Gods voice, he wouldn't be changing a tire and the rest of us changing our drawers.
God is Good, All the Time and All the Time, God is Good! |
