I had a chaotic mind yesterday morning. I was on leave but there were some urgent demands at work I needed to attend to; couldn’t help much as I was on the road the whole time.
So I resorted to giving directions to my team in between my drives.
I was driving fast on the highway (E611) and I ran through one small stone. I thought it was just like any ordinary stones. But after about 5 kilometers, within the Silicon Oasis area, I heard a loud noise. There was a huge construction on the roadside so I thought it was just those machines.
But then the unusual noise grew louder even past the construction site. It bothered me. I knew there was something wrong, but I don’t know what.
I prayed to God for a shoulder on the road so I could stop and check the car. There was none. 1km, 2km, none. I tried to stay calm but the tension was increasing. Before things get even worse, I saw a petrol station sign towards E311. Thank God! Answered prayer I thought.
I quickly got out to check all sides of the car and saw that one rear tyre was flat out. All throughout the drive, I didn’t feel an imbalance in the car. To my surprise, that gas station has a Tyre repair shop!
I was so amazed at how God answered my short prayer at the moment of anxiety. I prayed only for a shoulder, He gave me a gas station; and not just a gas station, but one with a tyre repair. I didn’t know what the problem was but God already prepared the solution.
Isn’t God amazing? That was just a stone. God is the Rock who we can always count on and trust.
Amidst the chaos, there’s ALWAYS something to be thankful for. AND, God always got the best answers to our needs – beyond what we could ask for or imagine.
