THE WORD – The above verse is a favorite scripture for many people. I have recited it often enough in my walk with God.

I chanted it all the way home from work one day last week. While battling a sinus infection, I didn’t realize how much it was affecting my vision and motion. Till I tried to drive home.

I couldn’t see straight. At times, the middle line seemed double. Which threw me off when another car came by in the other lane. I pulled off the road to clear my head, rather shaky at this point. The last leg of the journey was five miles climbing up my hilly, country road. Whoa. Did not want to land in a ditch.

I confess I did feel a bit frantic but what choice was there at this point? I couldn’t just leave the car in the middle of the road and walk. I prayed and continued to repeat this verse over and over again. It is written, it is written, in Your Word…. I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.

When I pulled into my driveway I was almost in tears. No, scratch that. I did cry, from sheer relief of avoiding an accident. God’s Word is powerful. Read it, memorize it, quote it, live by it. Thank God for HIS WORD!
