FLAT TIRE

Yesterday , on our way home  from  office , we noticed that Mitsu's  rear tire was flat.   I immediately bring the car to the petrol station to refill the air,  as Im driving  I tried to recall  what had caused my flat tire.  As much as possible I try to avoid parking along the  sandy area or  in kachara parking as to avoid  sharp  and pointed objects get  into the tires.  Sometimes bad things happened   even though how careful we are. And also  sometimes these circumstances will some how  teach us some lessons  that we will never forget. 

As I reach the petrol station and finished refilling the air, the staff there checked the tire and find nothing  that makes the tire deflated.  It was only this morning when we are about to go to work , we saw a bolt stacked on the rubber that caused the deflation.

Then I remembered: God is so good, at all time.

He never allowed  this to happen during the Eid holiday, wherein we are in the road for almost  every day during the week long holiday.  What if we get deflated on our way to Fujairah?  Or when we are in the middle of Sheikh Zayed  Road  in Dubai?  Or when we are in nowhere looking for the shortest  route going  to Last Exit Food Truck Station?  I am risking not only my life, but the life of my friends as well.  

But , then,  God is always good. He always protect.  He never want His children to get harm, to be in  trouble. He is always in control of everything. 

In our life, we often experience having a spiritual flat tire. Life's unexpected instances that could be in the form of job challenges, relationship conflicts, financial issues, death of loves ones and  illnesses that flattens us and released whatever energy left in us.   It may be a disaster at first but in the end it will redirect our lives in a meaningful way.

God will never leave us.  He is always good every time and  in everything.  All we need to do is to keep our faith in Him.  Just like a flat tire getting fixed after, He will patched every small and big holes of our life and will refill us with His Spirit, so that when we're  back on the road again,  we are sure  that our journey will be smooth  and safe,  no matter how bumpy and roughly  the roads ahead of us.  We will reach our destination  safety and without blemish.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
