We have been experiencing some pretty harsh weather lately. Severe cold and nasty snow have blanketed the region. My dad (gotta love my invincible dad), decided that he needed to go to Home Depot (kitchen remodel not going as expected) at 6:00 p.m. in his well-loved van. The temperatures were beginning to dip, the weather prediction for that night was -2.
My phone rang at about 7:00 p.m. It was dad and he was stuck on the side of the road, in the dark, with a flat tire and a deflated spare tire, After searching his shed for his portable air compressor and coming up with nothing, I took off with my emergency air compressor and found him trying to jack up the big old monster.
After trying to re-inflate the tire that was currently on the beast, and getting nowhere, I began to earnestly pray for the Lord's hand to be on us as we froze in the frigid night air while trying to get this big beast back on the road and headed home. The jack was not working well, but as I called out the Lord, my dad was able to get the jack working. What a testimony!! The Lord heard my plea and was there with us on the side of the road in the super cold weather!
Using my emergency air compressor, we were able to get the spare inflated and functional. The Lord did not leave us as we struggled with the weather, the dark and less than ideal working conditions. He stayed right there with us, protecting us and helping us when we could not possibly do it ourselves.
It may seem like such a small thing, a flat tire. But without our trust in the Lord and His love, we would not have been able to get the flat tire off the big van or the spare inflated and onto the van. He was there with us, keeping us safe and ensuring that we made it back to the house, a little chilled, but without any lasting ill-effects.
My God is true and faithful. He is there in my time of need and I will forever praise Him!! I will praise Him in times of distress just as I praise Him in times of happiness.
