Psalm 32:9 (NKJV)
Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.
In other words, God is sovereign, He is in control of everything. I had learned a long time ago that when the bus blows up, God is trying to get my attention. He whispers in our ears, and desires that we are listening, and hear His voice amidst all the turmoil of things going on in our lives. He doesn’t want to have to yank violently on the reigns, He desires that we listen to that still and quiet voice in the back of our mind. You see 20 years ago the LORD taught me that. Seems I have forgotten. God blew up the bus as we were climbing to Klamath Falls Oregon on our first day of travel because He was trying to get my attention, to tell us where to stop and fellowship. We of course were praying for that very thing.
We limped into Klamath Falls that evening, and stayed in a hotel where Deborah and I could take a breather. We stayed 2 nights so I could work on the bus, and we could attend the fellowship that The LORD was leading us to. We ended up going to the Vine Christian Fellowship. Deborah and I both felt that the LORD was speaking to us individually. Isn’t it amazing how the LORD leads? Well I hope that it doesn’t take me as long to get in the “listening” mode as it did 20 years ago.
Blessings from Craig and Deborah <><
