“But
the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one."- 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Yesterday afternoon
I was travelling from my Father-in-law’s home to the place where I reside. I
was travelling with wife, my little daughter and my colleague in a car. The
distance to be travelled was 380 Kms.
We started our
journey at 2:00 P.M. As I was driving the car, we were talking and enjoying our
ride. Few hours into the journey my wife and daughter slept in the back seat.
Then at around 6 P.M they woke up and were sitting together beside my colleague
who was sitting in the front.
At 6:30 we were
waiting before a railway gate. There were so many cars in front of us. After
few minutes the train passed and suddenly a bus came and stopped towards my
right side. The bus could not move further as the vehicles from the opposite
side begun to come. The driver of the bus tried to drive the bus towards the
left side where our car was there.
As he was coming
towards the left I drove left. Again he came and again I did the same and as I
could not move further I stopped the vehicle. The driver knew that our car was
stopped. But then he tried to drive the vehicle towards his left. Then finally
the bus came to a halt after dashing with our car.
We thought the bus
will go straight. If the driver would have waited for another 30 seconds, the
accident might not have happened. But then all in a sudden we heard a bang and
then only we realized that the bus had hit our car.
It had exactly hit
the door near to the driver seat where I was sitting. The door got damaged and
the side of the car was scratched but then nothing happened to us who were
seated inside the car. If the bus would have slightly moved further then it
would have crashed the entire driver seat and today I might not be alive. I do not know how the driver stopped the bus immediately.
But I could very well
say that God has protected us. The accident cost us few damage but our lives were
saved. Few minutes before that only my wife and daughter moved to the other
side and so they were saved from the banging impact.
As I drove further,
I thanked God for His grace that protected our lives. We could able to come out
of the incident within few hours because there was no physical harm to us.
As I look back what
happened yesterday, my heart was getting filled with gratefulness to God for He
protected and saved us. I thank God for His protection upon me and my family
members.
Our God is faithful
and He will guard us from all evil.
