Following the Light

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ, Yesterday we took a trip into a bigger city than ours to have some much needed service on our vehicle. The weatherman had cautioned that our area would have rain and to plan accordingly. When we left our house the rain was falling softly so was hoping that it would not really get bad until after we got home. Well, that was not the case! After our car was serviced we headed to our final destination in that city and soon after leaving that establishment the rains came down. As I approached the on ramp there was a big semi that moved over into the other lane allowing me to maneuver in back of him. Suddenly the tail lights lit up and through the heavy downpour and the backsplash from his semi the red lights lit up and I looked in my rear view mirror and slowed way down. I decided to follow the trucker because I could see the taillights which kept me in the right lane but also I knew that the trucker would pave the way for me. The trucker led the way for about 20 miles and then exited the freeway, by then it was clear enough for me to travel the rest of the 15 miles back home. It was a white knuckle drive home but I felt safe as the trucker's taillights shined brightly in the rain and fog. By now you probably know where my mind went after safely getting home - yes, following the light. In this case it wasn't a bright white light but instead the red taillights. Once again, the Lord protected and provided for us on our drive - I know that it was the red taillights of the trucker because of the situation. It was downpouring and traveling behind all the cars and trucks made it worse and also the fog made it almost impossible to see what was in front of me BUT if not for the Lord's providing a semi truck in front of me paving the way and for protected me from any dangers ahead of me, it was the peace that I had in knowing that it was not a coincidence but that it was the Lord's doing. I had cried out to Him because I was afraid of driving in the RAIN on the freeway and then the light appeared. God is so Good and pure and righteous! Let us pray - Abba Father, Your Lovingkindness and Steadfast Love appears in the most amazing of ways. How rich in mercy and grace that You make everyday a day of blessings. O, Lord, I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that she sees and feels and knows of Your Lovingkindness and Steadfast Love and be drenched in it and even hunger for it. May she see it in the special moments and in the sorrowful moments and in the quiet moments. In Jesus Name, Amen. He will protect and provide,
