Happy Father's Day!

God is Faithful...

 It was forty five minutes past noon when I heard like a loud collision while I was leaving my driveway. Dare me, I wasn't looking at my rearview mirror! I knew I hit something. I didn't sound like I just ran over a bump. 

Sure thing, I got out of my car and here comes a guy maybe on his late twenties or early thirties looking furious and told me, "Are you not looking?" I just said, I'm so sorry." There was no need to defend myself or make excuses to what it seemed to be an admission of guilt on my end. But I did tell him that this was my first accident that I caused in 34 years that I have been driving. Now that I'm lying down my bed at night, that remark doesn't have any bearing to my negligence for not looking in the rearview mirror while backing up.

The guy was driving probably a 2019 or a 2020 vehicle. I still drive a 2003 vehicle. What swirled into my mind was that I'm going to drain my savings just to fix his new car. But I know that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God is faithful...

Before I turn on my car, I say a very simple prayer-- "Thank you God for your traveling mercies, for your hedge of protection over me, and thank you that you're always with me wherever I go and for your faithfulness I'm always in awe..." That fervent prayer saved me that very moment. And this car incident happened for He is worthy to be praised and glorified. 

I call this a miracle car accident. I'm a big believer on God's exceeding Grace, and He is still performing miracles if we allow ourselves to see it- God's way.

So I and the other driver walked around to the back of his car because I knew I hit his fender or anything near his trunk. He must have been shocked to see that there was no damage, not even a tiny dent or scratch. He tried to look at it again and I would think that he, too, was relieved. The God that I serve erased what was there. I was telling the guy that it is God's doing and I prayed over his car and I gave him a hug and he said it's okay.

That was an opportunity for me to share the faithfulness of God. I pray that what he witnessed today is a revelation of God's working power. And a lesson for me to be more mindful of my surrounding We sometimes grow complacent of not looking through the sideview mirror and rearview mirror because we think that we got it covered at this time already. But...thank God for "He make all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
