Jumped

It was a Mac truck I was driving, loaded with logs; the road was icy caused by a freezing rain. Trying to climb that hill was really taking a gamble and I lost. As the tractor trailer refused to climb any higher and took on a mind of its own, I lost my head and jumped.

That’s the wrong thing to do and is very dangerous; however God gave me a pass. Even the semi didn’t do badly. It broke through a snowbank, jackknifed and miraculously didn’t upset. We both survived intact for which I was very grateful.

Many times in life’s challenges I jumped when I should have stayed with my responsibilities. Staying, many times, is worth overcoming the crazy things fear does to us.

James 1:12 

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Don’t jump.

Think about it.
