Devotions: Praising God

Praise in Trouble

- Praise brings God Close

The family thought this holiday would never come but at last it was here. The two kids in the back seat were planning exploring trips and beach fun in their minds for all the days to come.

In the middle of their ‘far away’ thoughts everything started to go wrong. The caravan hooked to the back of their car was swaying wildly until it rolled over pulling the car and all the family with it.

Their things fell out of the caravan and spread all over the road. Even personal treasures in the dirt and on the grass - everywhere. Such a mess! The amazing thing was no one was killed not even hurt – some were a bit stiff.
Father shouted, ‘Praise you Lord, you kept us safe.”

Beth who was the older said,

‘Really Dad I do love you but you say the strangest things.

How can you be thinking of God at a time like this.”

The policeman was there scratching his head and saying,
“I can’t believe you are all safe, in the middle of all this debris.”

But God was ‘’watching over’ them. As quickly as the next day they had an identical car and insurance money to cover the cost of the caravan. They were on their way again
but this time the whole family was thanking God and praising Him.
