God is Good

The truth of the matter is that God is good to us and through our experiences we can attest to that. David challenges us to put God to the test when he says in Psalm 34:8, "Taste and see that the Lord is good".

I thought of another time when my wife and I were traveling on Memorial Day weekend from South Carolina to Indiana. We were on Interstate 40 between Ashville and Knoxville when we came around a corner and saw a large paver right in front of us. I presume that the sign indicating that this lane was closed had blown down but nevertheless here we were having to make a decision of what to do. 

There were 3 choices: one being that we ram into the car that had managed to get stopped right in front of the paver, two being that we turn towards a semi to our left, or three we turn towards the side of the mountain to our right. I only had a split second to make up my mind but decided to choose option three, when all of a sudden, a small space opened between two semis to my left. I quickly turned into that space and looked in my rearview mirror to see a cargo truck that was behind me take to the side of the mountain, flipping in the air. 

 I do not deserve God's goodness, and that day I thanked Him for that goodness, and when incidents like this come to mind, I thank Him again.
