When it comes to driving, I'm a calm driver -- as my wife sees me (Praise God for her) and I do believed her (not just because she's my wife but that's what I have observed also); I haven't had any experience of road rage but I almost lost everything four nights ago.
I was driving with my family going home after church, a car came from nowhere cut our lane and almost hit us.
My initial reaction was, I gave him 5 seconds of massive ear bursting horn (in my mind I want to pull over and make him realize what could happen if we had an accident). At the back seat, my wife tapped me on my shoulder and tried to calm me down, she told me to ignore him and be thankful that no accident happened.
I took a deep breath and ask God for deliverance.
After awhile, I noticed that he slowed down and went 5 cars behind us. (I guess he already realized what he has done).
As we near to our place and already calm as if nothing happened.
I was thanking God for the discernment, being able to control myself and used my wife to speak for Him.
How I wish the same thing happened to Hanun (King of Ammonites).
Nahash died and his son Hanun succeeded him. David sent envoy as a sign of sympathy because Nahash has been kind to him. However, Hanun listened to the wrong information given by his commanders, so he seized the envoy, shaved them, cut off their garments at the buttocks, and sent them away. That's how the Ammonites been defeated.
Please read the whole story. 1 Chronicles 19
Decision making is very crucial in our daily life, but what is more crucial is, do we discern? do we seek God when we decide?
What if I didn't listened to my wife and gave-in to the rage burning inside of me? I guess it would be a total disaster then regret it after.
Each and everyday we make decisions, from simple things up to the matter of life and death. These decisions will either make us or break us, whether it is personal or influenced by someone; At the end of the day we are still responsible for it.
This is a good reminder for us that if we happened to encounter what I've experienced or any situation in life that we need to decide, let's ask ourselves for the second time "Are you sure?" just keep and calm and seek God, for God is with us.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. " - Jeremiah 29:11
"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31
