Spinning out of Control

Psalm 62:6-8

New Living Translation (NLT)

 6 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
      my fortress where I will not be shaken.
 7 My victory and honor come from God alone.
      He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me.
 8 O my people, trust in him at all times.
      Pour out your heart to him,
      for God is our refuge.

Yesterday I was on my way to praise team practice. While on the road we saw that this "guy" (It could have been a lady) got into a car accident. I've been in a couple myself. My question is could it be possible to see the blessings in a car accident? I say that it is very possible. The driver probably lost control of his vehicle and landed himself in the jungle. Okay so here are the blessings. First of all I said landed himself in the jungle. His car was in grass. See this dude could have hit a railing or a telephone pole but God's favor was upon him. The second blessing was right as this guy was spinning out of control a bus was passing or maybe cars were passing. Whatever the situation I know God placed people there to assist the people in the car.

Okay I know my fellow readers are probably like okay that is pretty cool. Now what is your point? I always have a point to everything I speak about. I believe that at times I can be this driver. I want to take control of my own life. So I get behind the wheel and start driving. I think I know the perfect speed to travel. I think I know the right places to stop at. Eventually I go too fast and I start to spin out of control. Yet because of God's great love for me he provides a safe landing for me. He provides me with people to surround and assist me.

I Rhia Jimenez do not know what is best for me. I cannot possibly grasp any of that. I do know that God does. He knows yesterday, he knows today, and he knows tomorrow. He was is and will always be in control. Landing in the jungle is a message from God. He is telling me here Rhia this is your second chance. Restart. Let me take the wheel and trust where I take you.

Psalm 57:7-11

New Living Translation (NLT)
 7 My heart is confident in you, O God;
      my heart is confident.
      No wonder I can sing your praises!
 8 Wake up, my heart!
      Wake up, O lyre and harp!
      I will wake the dawn with my song.
 9 I will thank you, Lord, among all the people.
      I will sing your praises among the nations.
 10 For your unfailing love is as high as the heavens.
      Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
 11 Be exalted, O God, above the highest heavens.
      May your glory shine over all the earth.
