It was 2 a.m. A freight train thundered through the railroad crossing in the countryside as Sergeant Bosak brought his police car to a stop at the flashing signal. He waited on the dark road for the train to pass.
Then a flash of light in his rearview mirror caught his eyes. He watched the car coming up behind him. Too fast. Not stopping. Swerving around the police car, the car smashed into the train! It hit between two railroad cars, and it was dragged down the tracks with the train.
Two miles down the track Sergeant Bosak looked into the wrecked car. Michael, the 25-year-old driver, unhurt, was still pushing on the gas pedal. The wheels were spinning, but they had no tires now.
“Train? ... What train?” Michael said.
The policeman said, “I have never seen anything like this in my life!” One headlight was still on, smoke was everywhere, and the car was a total wreck. The car had ended up on an embankment, and the driver thought he was still driving.
Yes, of course, you guessed it. The young man had been drinking and still didn’t know that he had hit a train. Sergeant Bosak said, “He is very, very lucky. Somebody up there protected him.”
Yes indeed, Someone was taking care of him, and it wasn’t luck! God watches over each one of us. In spite of all our sin, He still loves us, and He sent His Son to save us.
Perhaps your life has been rough and you’ve said to yourself, “I’m getting nowhere and something is very wrong in my life.” Listen. It is God who is speaking to you. He wants to get your attention. He is calling you to the Savior who loves you so much that He died for you. Don’t race on! Listen to His Word. “Come unto Me, all [you] that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)).
