MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS February 8,
2018
I know I wore you out, oh car
dearest. After 14.5 years and 249K miles you were getting tired with me. The
feeling was mutual. You had served me well, dear vehicle. You did very well. I
could trust Miss Betsalee-Borrowed, my 1999 dark green Honda Accord. All I had
to do was jump in, start the engine and
off we went. You accompanied me to work daily. Commuting from Bowie, MD to
Washington D.C. From Anne Arundel to Washington D.C. Tearing down BW Parkway
onto New York Avenue and smacked into the madness of rush hour, defensive driving
District of Columbia style. My dear Betsalee was there for me. Then came the
avalanche and the many screaming, tears streaming down my face driving. Post-divorce. Miss Betsalee Borrowed
had my back. Phase Two began. Sure enough there we were gliding along Crain
Highway to North 210/Indian Head zooming to I-295 North and onto Maine Avenue,
bang into rush hour traffic Washington D.C. fashion. Me and ole-faithful
Betsalee-Borrowed on the road for hours at a time. Oh dear car, I wore you out.
You were a gem of a vehicle. You transported me well.
Such was the trust I put in an
automobile. Unquestionably placing my total confidence in her ability to get me
where I was going. Any day. Anytime. All the time. A mere vehicle. Fuel and
windshield fluid were all I knew how to handle. Auto shops did the rest. But I trusted
that piece of equipment, mechanical invention, to take me everywhere. No
destination was out of her reach. Rain or shine; sleet and snow; windy or calm.
And Betsalee did not let her Mama down! We were a team. We travelled.
My Friend. Can you rely on Jesus
the same way? You are confident that a vehicle will take you safely. You get in
the car, crank the engine and off you go. We take off. Foot on brakes. Foot on
accelerator. Foot on brakes. Stop and go, go and stop, stop quickly, slow to a
stop. Go. The cyclic pattern of a moving vehicle. What makes you sure it will move
and stop when it should? Yet you trust. I trust. We trust a machine. You trust
a crappy piece of metal, albeit polished to a shine, to get you to a
destination. You place your life in a concoction of metal and plastic and steel
and glass called a car. We trust the science of the process.
How about, trusting God completely! How about, placing your full assurance in Jesus Christ! How about, trusting the Lord enough to just let go and let God! Blind trust is what you must have in the Lord. Let God lead. You just follow. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide your path. Trust in the Lord God with all your heart and all your soul and all your YOU. Trust Jehovah God with your life, your lifestyle, your livelihood. Just trust. Almighty God has got you fully and mightily covered. The Lord is able and can handle you quite well. Just believe and trust the Most High God your Heavenly Father.

It’s the Third Watch of the night
in my part of the world. I am about to pray now. When it is Third watch for you
tonight, wake up and pray. You need to stay on your prayer footing. Here's sending much love from my end.
Blessings abundant.
