A Close Call! recounts a near accident that became a powerful reminder of God’s guidance and protection in everyday life. Before leaving on an ordinary drive, the author chose silence instead of music or podcasts and offered a simple prayer asking God for wisdom and safety. Moments later, a young woman on a bicycle unexpectedly rode through a stop sign, passing just centimeters in front of the car after the author braked hard.
Although shaken, the author’s overwhelming response was gratitude that a potential tragedy had been avoided. Reflecting on the incident, he considers how a slightly higher speed or even a brief distraction could have produced a very different outcome. The experience reinforces the importance of beginning every journey by acknowledging God and remaining attentive rather than allowing constant noise and distractions to dominate the mind.
Drawing on Proverbs 3:5-6 and Psalm 91, the article encourages readers to trust the Lord in every aspect of life, including ordinary daily routines. It concludes with a practical challenge: pause before every journey, pray for God’s guidance and protection, and cultivate a quiet heart that is more aware of His presence and leading.
