So, while she is away I will be taking care of the devotion for this week. Bare with me here folks I a no Ms. June but I will do my best. I like devotions that have stories so I think I 'll share some of mine about traveling and God's protection...
When I was a child and we went on trips my mama would always pray as she packed our bags and got everything together. I can still hear her quite voice praying for our safety as we traveled and for a "trip without incidents or accidents" that we would "go and return completely whole."
Sometime this would get on my nerves, especially if she waited to do it when we had finally gotten everybody and everything packed into the truck. I was impatient and just wanted to hear the radio. But most times I was grateful that she did it. Once she was finished I knew that God had heard her and that He knew that we were claiming a safe and happy trip and would make sure of it and I didn't worry about anything from that moment on.
And mama's prayers worked cause when it came to driving, Daddy was convinced he was Jeff Gordan and the interstate was the Darlington Motor Speedway and I know that the only reason we are all alive today is because of Mama's praying and God's divine intervention. And in all of our traveling, in the days before strict car seat and seat belt laws no less, we were never involved in a serious accident.
