One Woman's Pilgrimage
by Linda Bush Cannon
Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
Sometimes it’s hard to be a Christian when you get behind the wheel of a car. It’s almost like another person takes over the wonderfully spiritual, quiet and gentle-spirited woman that I normally am (HA!). It makes me wonder if Jesus was ever tempted to lose His temper when somebody cut their camel in front of His while on the way to temple!
Tonight I made an honest mistake, albeit fueled with impatience. I was waiting to make a right-hand turn onto a busy road. I became impatient at the lack of a break in traffic, and that edginess caused me to see what I thought was a mile-long “opportunity” to jump right in there and make my turn. Seems it was more like a few yards, because the minute I made my turn, I realized I had miscalculated the distance, and the poor fella behind me had to do some fancy footwork on his brakes because of my poor judgment. I think he loved Jesus, ‘cause he was honking up a storm! Well, at least that was the worst that happened, along with a big case of embarrassment for me.
How many near-misses has God saved me from, when instead of being patient and waiting for His opportunity, I’ve rushed out in my own poor timing, trusting my own eyes and judgment? Oh Lord, please save me from myself, and help me to be patient and wait on You!
