This morning I found myself so late for work & I was so annoyed with everyone for taking too long in the shower! And I was so embarassed because I've never left home that late for work. But as I turned out of the gate & drove to the top of the road I realised there had just been an accident right there about 200m from my house. And it was terrible. Two cars had collided and overturned. There were bodies all over.
I cried endlessly because it became clear to me why I had been 'delayed' from leaving the house. The Lord preserved my life and I don't know why but I am so thankful. Had I left earlier who knows, I could have been in that wreckage. I cried all the way to work. Got to work and they were just finishing devotions - i.e. I was really late!
But the Lord really used it in my life to show me His grace. It is unmerited. And also I think every time I drive past that spot now, it will be a very good reminder to me of how my life must count for something everyday because I never know when my last day will be.
