Car Rides

This morning I had to take an hour and a half car ride to a meeting I needed to attend. I took the car my wife usually drives because it has snow tires and the roads were quite slippery.  When I turned the car on a CD of praise music began to play.  I had never heard this CD before but immediately, without thinking, I was relaxed and my spirit began to rejoice.  When the CD was finished my spirit was so full that I quickly looked for another praise CD in the pile I found in the car.  There were several to choose from and I soon found one that continued to lift my spirit toward God. When I arrived at the meeting I really didn't want to go in because I didn't want to leave the mountain top I found myself on. We don't do enough praising because our relationships with God are too business like.  We want His intervention in this matter or that. Praise revives the soul.  It brings joy and peace. It also brings us to the gates of the Lord's presence.

The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the Lord will praise him - may your hearts live forever!  (Psalm 22:26)

The car is a great place to connect with the Lord.  Next time you are on a drive take time to be with Him.
