Last year at this time, I had just returned from a rather "harrowing" trip to see family and
friends in another state. The harrowing part was the ride home in the midst of a major
ice/snow storm! I
don't know a better word than "terrified" would describe the way I felt
for hour upon hour as the snow grew deeper and the roads grew slicker
with ice. We saw dozens of vehicles in ditches and even in a forested
area with lights beaming through the trees. The message that it was time
to stop was when we saw a huge 18-wheeler truck overturned in a ditch a few feet from us!
Today's devotional is such a blessed reminder of the importance of stopping
to take the time to be strengthened by our Lord rather than trying to
keep on by myself. This is the time when God fills me with His Strength
and Peace and Guidance.
Please join me in taking time
everyday - or many times a day to be still in front of the Lord, then to
praise Him for His many blessings. I can't thank Him enough for a safe
trip home for me and my family - and for the message to take time to
stop!
