As I as driving last week, I had to go on a road that was
unimaginably bumpy. I do not think that
they had fixed the road in a long time. I was jostled and jolted by the
bumpiness of the road. As I drove, I was
thankful that we had good shock absorbers on the car. There were a few times
that if I had been taller, I would have bumped my noggin. Friends, sometimes, through no fault of our
own, we hit rough spots in our life; it’s bound to happen. No one is immune to the troubles of this
world. What we need is a shock absorber;
like the ones on the car to smooth out the ride, or a screen door to keep it
from slamming. Praise God we have a
shock absorber for the potholes of life.
It is God! He holds those who put their trust in him in the palm of his
hand. What a comfort that because of him
we can make it through the tough times and come out on the other side of what
seemed like a crater unscathed. We can
look back and realize that we survived because God had us in the very palm of
his hand. That is awesome. If you have not put your trust in Jesus, you
really need to do that. If you have
already done that; then trust the shock absorber to smooth out the ride and
make it a little less bumpy.
