So I start for work this morning and reach the signal light close to my street. In front of me, a silver gray SUV. The signal light turns green and the lady in front of me goes forward slowly, inching along at 10 mph and then 20 mph. I felt like getting upset. Then I remembered the saying "Every purposeful delay is another way of God's protection." So I thought to myself, this is not worth getting upset over. So I kept cool and crawled behind her, at snail's pace, doing 20 on a 45 mph road. Half a mile, down the road, she turned left to go to a grocery store. I turned left and saw she was on the phone, chatting, oblivious of the speed she was driving at.

So I pick up speed and drive to work. 10 minutes later I reach the Beltway 8 North under pass by the signal light. Five more seconds to reach the signal light. Approaching the intersection, I could see the signal light was green and I was good to go. Suddenly still 5 seconds away, I see an 18 wheeler hurtling through the intersection - he was crossing on a Red light.

Then I realized the purpose of my earlier delay. It was God's way of protecting me from what could have been a deadly accident. The 18 wheeler could have plowed me through, crushing and mangling my car. I could have been in a terrible state. But God kept me safe by initially delaying me.

It also brings to mind the story I heard about the guy who ran to make the sail on the Titanic, slipped and fell and broke his leg. Later he was alive to read the papers of the fateful sinking of Titanic and its few survivors.

God's delays are ways to protect you. I realized that today. I thank all those here and around the world who are constantly praying for me.

Jacob David.
