“I knew that God would direct me”

Over the years, I’ve been shown in many ways that no matter where we are or what we are doing, God is always with us, guiding us, guarding us, and leading us. This has been proven to me in so many ways especially while driving my car. One of the more memorable incidents happened one night while my husband and I were driving down a very busy route (two lanes on each side of the road with a jersey barrier dividing the east and west sides of the road. I was driving the car and was in the fast lane, next to the barrier. Occasionally, there would be an opening for someone to cross over to the other side but not an extra lane to use for this purpose. 

This night, it was pouring rain, the visibility was poor, and there was a lot of traffic in both lanes on my side of the road and quite a bit of oncoming traffic as well. Suddenly, the car in front of me decided to turn left at an opening without any notice.  To human sense, I had absolutely nowhere to go. Immediately, I said out loud, “Divine Mind governs all!” And I knew that God would direct me on what to do next. At that point, I felt God’s love and care for us, and it was like he was taking over the wheel. The car which was turning turned just enough for me to squeeze by, but cars on my right were coming at a very fast speed so I couldn’t move over a lane.

But again, it felt like I wasn’t driving, and our car moved a bit to the right and we were free to go past the whole situation. My husband told me how impressed with how I maneuvered, but my comment to him was, “It wasn’t me that did it; it was God’s work.”
