Protection Beyond Understanding.

Ray decided we were due for a day out.
Time for just us.
So the Harley came out and he polished it up.

We are getting to old for this I thought.
But, it was still a good idea.

The road we took is a busy fast one.
One where huge lumber semi's fly along.
I'm terrified of those trucks, so I prayed we had no problem with any today.
Not long on the way a monster was roaring up behind us.
Ray had to to go very fast to keep in front and safe.
I hung on and prayed.
I prayed for safety and I thanked the Lord for all His goodness to us.
Suddenly I saw in my mind, our bike with a flat tyre?
How silly?
I shook the thought away and kept a close eye on the revision mirror and that truck looming nearer.
Well, eventually it turned off after following us some 40klm.
Thank God I sighed.
We soon arrived at our destination.
It was hot and we parked and went to get a drink.

Returning, guess what?
The bike had a flat tyre.

Can you believe it?

I wonder if the Lord had not planted it in my mind to pray.
What would have happened to us??
We may have been another road fatality!

Something we all need to realise.
Our days are numbered and only the Lord knows when we will meet him.
We always need to be ready.

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life."
Psalm 39:4


 "A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."
