…If the Lord wills

You can be minding your own business at a gas station…

On March 10, 2026, the driver of a Jeep was either just arriving or just leaving a gas station in Littleton, Colorado, a suburb of Denver, when his car was crushed by a huge semi-tractor trailer.

The truck driver said his brakes failed. He lied. The brakes were fine. He was later charged with careless driving resulting in bodily injury. Miraculously, I think, the driver is OK:

The driver of the Jeep was in serious condition at a hospital immediately after the crash, police said, but has gone home and appears on track for a full recovery. – Denver Post, April 3, 2026

Our lives are in God’s hands.

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4.13 – 15, ESV)

One thought on “…If the Lord wills”

  1. Certainly a fitting blog post for where I am this week – praise God the Jeep driver survived; what a wreck!
