I was travelling to meet a friend about an hour away. Most of the journey was on the M25 and the M3. When I reached the entrance ramp for the M25, traffic ground to a halt. I looked to the right of me and could see four lanes of stationary traffic, with the speed boards indicating 15 mph. My Sat-Nav showed that traffic was stopped for the next seven junctions in both directions.
As I sat there stationary for about ten minutes, I had an angel thought. That every driver’s motive for being on the road was to bless someone or something. For some, it was to get to a work appointment. For others, it was to deliver a desired parcel or to meet a friend. I felt quite deeply that each person could only be blessed by having these good motives. Within a few minutes, all the traffic cleared up. The cars started moving with the speed boards showing the national speed limit and all the red lines on my Sat-Nav disappeared for the whole length of the motorway.
Some might say it was a coincidence, though usually it takes some time for things to get back to normal after such a problem, and in this case, time wasn’t a factor.
For me though, it was an example of the power of an idea from God, acknowledged, and an example of how much He loves each of His children.
