My Car Needs Met with God’s Guidance

I was driving to my annual meeting for Christian Science Chaplains in Southern California. When I was taking the exit off the freeway to where I was going to be spending the night. I noticed two lights on my dash board. My first thought was this is probably nothing to worry about. I was going to get a hamburger at a local fast food place. It was about to rain and the angel message came do not do this your car might brake down and you will be in the poring rain.

As I continued I stopped quickly at a gas station and the attendant said it was probably my alternator going out. I drove about another half mile or so and made it to where I was spending the night. The problem was it was Friday night and the next day I would be busy all day at my conference. I only would be staying Friday and Saturday. I had to check out Sunday morning. I was about 150 miles away and did not know any garages nor did I have time to wait for my car to get fixed.

However God is always governing. First I was protected because the car could have stopped in the middle of my destination but it did not. I called my wife and she told me two people that were going to the meeting where I was staying... One of them graciously offered to take me to a mechanic she knew just before the meeting we attended. This we did and the car was worked on during my conference and was all fixed and ready to drive home.

God’s love is always with us meeting our need wherever we are. Mary Baker Eddy in her textbook Science and Health states “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need”. (494:10-11)

God is with us every minute and there is always a solution for every problem when we are obedient to be about His business.
