What do you know about cars? For one thing, did you know how inefficient they are? I had to laugh out loud when I learned that cars take up a huge amount of space on this earth but get driven around mostly empty. Government statistics have shown that the private car in the United States carries only 1.6 people in them per trip!
Okay, I know what you are thinking…What does the above trivia piece of information have to do with having a conversation with God using Scripture?
Well, I’m so glad you asked.
Today, as I was traveling up the highway, heading to the Half Price Book store, to purchase a book by Linda Page entitled Healthy Healing, I decided to turn on my car CD player. A highly popular gospel tune by Hezekiah Walker entitled “Every Praise” blasted out from the speakers and immediately the beat caused me to sway with the rhythm and to pat the steering wheel as I drove down the street.
Upon reaching Half Price Books’ parking lot, I could hardly bring myself to turn off the music. The testimony in song was such a blessing to my soul. Finally, I exited my vehicle and while still softly humming the melody of the tune, entered the Book Store. I found my book, retrieved it from the shelf and approached the checkout line.
A few customers were in front of me, so I took this opportunity to turn aside to examine some for sale items on a shelf while at the same time still humming “Every Praise”. Then a strange thing happened. I felt something pressuring against my back. I turned to face the customer that was ahead of me in the checkout line. Immediately, I apologized for bumping into her, but she corrected me and said she purposely leaned backward to hear what I was humming because it sounded so soothing and gave her such joy to embrace my happiness in this troubling world.
(I immediately thought….Lord, you are doing it again. Just like last week. You have opened another door to present Yourself to me and to others.) The next thing I knew, we were both giving God praises and thanking Him for his ever presence in our lives.
