Everyone knows its winter. It’s supposed to snow in the winter. Never let your gas tank go empty in the winter months. Wait it out they said. It took me 2 hours to go in a circle of a 1 mile radius. So what do you do when you’re going nowhere? Stay where you are? Venture out again into the craziness? Some grab a blanket and settle in. Some decide to wait it out. Some abandon their car all together. Some stop in at a friend’s house. Still others decide to eat. That entered my mind I must admit. Perhaps being in the middle of a Daniel Fast brought that one to mind sooner than later.
I was grateful for a good book and a great flash light. I read. I read some more. Finally the traffic began to move and I was back where I started from but at least I had a bathroom and water to drink. Isn’t it amazing how we take things for granted until we no longer have them. Where am I going with all of this?
We need to be prepared for the days ahead. Maybe it’s not snow and ice but it is the unknown events of tomorrow that can cause us to be stranded and unable to get to where we need to go. On a deeper note, once this life as we know it is over—it will be too late to make a decision to go in a different direction. Decisions are made on this side of life not on the other side of life as we know it.
Let me suggest you grab the BIG BOOK (also known as the bible) and find out where you are headed. Make sure you know what direction that is and when everyone goes crazy their hearts failing them for fear know what to do.
Luke 21:26 (KJV) “26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”
One of our staff came back in after a second try to make it home and said at least we like the company we’re with and we’re safe. She’s right. I think Heaven will feel that way too.
