Our
“lug-nut” story from the time we were going to sing our way to Arizona in a
bus/camper (kind of like the Partridge family) and trusting God;
We had only driven about fifty miles from our home town when God
decided to make a statement – loud and clear – that we would be fully depending
on him to guide and protect us. Not just through this trip, but for the rest of
our lives…
All
of a sudden, I felt the bus jerk and make a noise that it shouldn’t make, and
one of the dual wheels from the back of the bus came rolling past us down the
road and into the woods! I pulled over to the side of the road and stopped,
thinking “This is not good!”
When
I looked at the back of the bus, I could not help but wonder what kept the
inside dual from coming off? About that time our oldest son hollered that he
found the tire; and it was not flat. We got the wheel back to the bus, but all
the lug nuts were gone. We started walking back down the road to see if we
could find at least two or three to hold the wheel on until we got to the next
town…the odds of finding even one were one in a million. That’s when God made
his point! Right there, in the middle of the road, in fact on the white dash no
less, were five lug nuts in a pile! As if God caught them as they came flying
off at fifty-five miles per hour, and placed them there for us to find.
Impossible you say, well I have five witnesses. .. Okay God, you have my
attention, I will trust in you!
There are basically two ways that God has
done - and continues to do - great and even miraculous things in our world.
Throughout the Bible God has always made big things small and He has made small
things big. An understanding of this will help us with the problems we face
every day and also be a source of encouragement to us.
