The Two-Lane Road - Ken Ebright
"My grace is enough for you. When you are weak, my power is made perfect in you. 2 Corinthians 12:9" (NCV)
We are going through some tough times with Coronavirus and other terrible events. When I listen to talk radio, I have a hard time because it is so bad and depressing.
All of this strife going on led me to have a vision about driving on a curvy two-lane mountain road. I never knew what is around the next bend or what could happen. This is a picture of our life in this world, and to me, it seems more real today than ever before.
There have been other times when I thought I did not know how I was going to make it. One of the most trying times is when my mom, who was recovering from alcoholism, took her own life. There was also the time when I lost a part-time job that I desperately needed, and when my rent increased by two-hundred dollars, forcing me to move.
None of us know what tomorrow will bring, but I believe God was preparing me back then for today. I was such a messed-up kid after my mom died, but my dad re-married, and God brought my stepmom, who stepped up to change my life. Because of her, I went to treatment, where I dealt with my pain and struggle in the right way. The day I lost my part-time job, I was upset, but God had a plan. I was offered a full-time position in a career-related field. Moreover, I found a new place to live that was better for me.
It is always a great blessing for me to remember how faithful God has been in my past. In my difficult times, His power and provision have always been there when I needed Him the most.
Maybe he has done something similar for you, and it would do you good to remember. As Christians, meditating on God's goodness, power, and grace in times past can lead us to peacefully trust His provision for today. His power will be made perfect in us, in our weakness when we need Him the most.
Do you trust Him?
