God And The Crossmember Bar!

This will bring us comfort. God wants to be involved in the details of our lives. Invariably, He will do so if we let Him. Needless to say, many times we think we have to do everything on our own. As a result, we decide to involve God only after we have spent our energy. Furthermore, we try to figure it out or do it ourselves first.

We are in partnership with God. Moreover, he delights in doing thing for us! The Bible says God is involved in the details of our lives. Therefore, He cares for us personally (Psalm 139, Matthew 6:8, 6:26, 10:30, Luke 6:26). We should be excited about that! Our God loves us so much that He scripts it all out for us. There will be good and bad along the way, but we know it is all for our good (Romans 8:28)

Recently, I needed a crossmember bar installed on my vehicle. The dealership told me it was a 4 hour job and would be a little over $800. God had me to research the cost of a crossmember bar. I found the part considerably cheaper than what the dealership quoted. So, I ordered it on my own.

When I drove around to find a garage to install it, the first place I went to was closed. The second place said they did not install crossmember bars. The third place I went to the front office was closed. Someone steps from the side of the building. He tells me to go around the corner. He believes someone was there who can help me.

I meet three men working on the other side of the building. I tell them I need a crossmember bar installed and I have the part. One guy steps up and asks to see under the hood of my car. He then asks to see the part. He says he can do it. I ask how long would it take. He says 1 hour. Next, I asked how much he will charge me. He says $100. I agree to let him do it.

The man pulls my car into the garage. Then he pulls out a chair for me to sit in at the garage door. I watch him install the crossmember bar step by step in 30 minutes! I said PRAISE GOD! They was a little concern the bolts were rusted. Sometimes they break when they rust. When he takes the bolts off the car, there was no rust on any of them! They were AMAZED! I tell them God knows I need the car fixed. Therefore, He allowed no rust on those bolts so it would be fixed! They laughed, and said, “Yes, yes, yes!!!” I saved a little over $500 and 3.5 hours in allowing God to order my steps!

We serve a supernatural God who LOVES to get involved in the details of our lives. He LOVES it when we talk about Him. He LOVES it when we TRUST Him. It brings, PEACE and COMFORT to us. It is a BEAUTIFUL thing to SEE God at work in our lives! Thank you, Lord! Love & Blessings!
