A Slippery Road

For years I lived in North Missouri and the winters there can be atrocious. I traveled with a singing group for a number of years and we had an old Greyhound bus we drove around the country to our concerts.

One night while driving home in a snow storm at Hamilton, MO- I hit a patch of ice and spun the bus around. I cannot explain the helplessness I felt as I held on to the steering wheel and that 35 foot long, 8 feet wide, 10 feet tall, 10 tons vehicle circled around me. I remember thinking I was doing well driving in that mess until the tires broke loose on the ice. At that moment all I could say is OHHHHHHHHH! At that moment I realized I really needed God.

Why do we sometimes try to go it alone in life when at every moment we have access to God? In Gen. 28:15 He said: “I am with you and will keep you wherever you go.” And, He assures us: in Heb. 13:5 “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Let me encourage you today to not go it alone. As God to go with you, direct you and clear the slippery path before you.
