Seems appropriate for the day.
Whenever I am on the road and a storm comes up, I just keep driving. Both hands on the wheel. I take my time. At some point, the storm will pass making me closer to the finish.
Then, I read this story:
A young woman was driving with her father and they ran into a storm. The young woman asked her father: What should I do? Her father told her, “Keep driving." Cars began to pull to the edge, the storm was getting worse. What should I do dad? - "Keep driving," replied her father. Up ahead, a trailer was pulling up as well. She said, "Dad, should I stop? It's terrible and everyone is stopping!" Her father said, "No, keep driving!" Now the storm was stronger, but she obeyed her dad, and soon she could see a clearing ahead. After a couple of miles she was again in a quiet, calm and sunny area. Her father told her, "Now you can stop and get out." She said, "But why now?" He told her: "When you get out, look back. All the people who surrendered are still in the storm, you did not give up and your storm is behind you. If you are going through "hard times". Remember even if everyone else, even the strongest, stops or gives up, you keep going, because soon your storm will end and the sun will shine on you again.”
When the storms of life come upon you, keep driving. The life of a Christian keeps moving forward. The past is just that, passed. Keep it moving. There’ll be some in your life that’ll pull to the side. You just keep going.
It’s our faith that moves us! Hope in things unseen. Maybe I can’t see the end of my storm but I know it’s there.
There may be some pain, clouded vision and patience involved but, He’ll be there. Trust Him and…
Keep driving!
