My New Best Friend

My New Best Friend

Psalm 25:4&5

Hey All~

The other day I was flying…I mean driving down I-10 and of course I was in the fast lane. All was going well until I caught up to a slow car puttering along in the fast lane…did you hear me, I said, “puttering along in the fast lane.” I would have just gotten over into the other lane to pass him, but apparently all the other cars had the same idea. There was a stream of cars whizzing past him… and consequently past me. I kept thinking, “Does this guy (I’m sure it was a guy) not see all of these vehicles passing him on the right? Why is he not getting over?” Then we reached the top of a hill…

At the bottom of the hill I could see a nice man in a brown outfit and motor cycle with this hairdryer pointing at everyone coming over the top of the peak. As soon as we began to descend the hill the slowpoke driver kindly put on his blinker and moved over to the other lane. Ahem…oh. It dawned on me what he had been doing. Did I say he was a jerk? I meant he was my new best friend….and I was thankful!

I thought about the things in my life. Why is God doing that? Why won’t He fix this or remove that? What is taking Him so long? All He needs to do is…(you fill in the blank, cuz if you’re like me I’m sure you know!) Then one day we understand. We are so thankful God was willing to slow us down or make us upset or disappointed or frustrated for a little while. We see that all along He was protecting us from some unpleasant situations! Much like my new best friend – the slowpoke driver…So be encouraged today about the seeming delays in your life, you never know what’s waiting for you on the other side of that hill!

Psalm 25: 4&5 “Show me thy ways, O LORD, teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day long.”

By the way…I wasn’t going that fast.

Hope & Glory! to You ~ Love
