God's Provision in a Chevy Tahoe

I was driving home from work tonight and was thinking. Not unusual, as I have 30+ minute drive. But tonight, as I was driving, I was thinking about how sometimes in life, bad things happen. (Think happy thoughts, I know) When bad things happen we usually have no control over them, but we can usually control how we react.

Then I began to think of the little irritations in life (getting cut-off in traffic was what came to mind, imagine that). As that beautiful thought of that woman on her cell phone in the Tahoe whisking by me eating a doughnut and then jetting directly in front of me only to slam on her brakes was playing in my mind, I thought, "what good could come of that?"

Then it hit me. What if, in a moment like that, it was just the split-second delay that you would need to keep you from colliding with the SUV that was running a red light? What if that delay prevented a life-changing or life-altering circumstance? What if God's protection and provision was wrapped in a Tahoe-shaped package with a soccer mom, on her cell phone and eating a doughnut, at the helm?
