Morning Devotional:
Don’t hate me for saying it but I love a good blizzard.
We’re getting a pretty good blast of the white stuff this week and I’ll be honest, I was a little bummed that I had to work today! I love the days when I can stay home, curl up in my favorite chair, cuddle with my dog and read a good book while the snow piles up and the winds keep whistling away. Today is not that day. I have had my share of days, however, when I have had to travel in blizzards and one such storm had me fearing for my life.
I had 25 miles to drive home from an event I had spoken at and shortly after my departure, I found myself driving in near zero visibility. I was white knuckling my steering wheel, trusting in two ruts made by a vehicle that had gone before me and the knowledge that the road was straight for approximately ten miles. Beyond that, I had no idea how I was going to get home. After an hour or so, I reached what I thought was the ten-mile mark, I stopped the car and thought to myself, this was where I was going to need to stay for the night. It was truly the middle of nowhere and all I could do was pray.
After about 15 minutes, I saw a light in the distance coming toward me. It was a snowplow, traveling on the highway I needed to turn onto in order to get home. I was only about 200 feet or so shy of the intersection. I got behind that plow and you know what? That plow led me the entire way home.
That night served as a powerful reminder of God’s promise to us in Psalm 119:105: “Your word is a lamp to my feet and light to my path.” When we lose our way and need help finding our way home, God will lead us there.
