“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

“IF YOU CAN READ THIS I’M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY!” The sign made me laugh, BEFORE it started me thinking. It was located in the back window of a large, flatbed tow truck that was empty. Both of us were sitting at a red light going nowhere, which gave me time to think about the pun. If a vehicle had been up on the flatbed, there would be no way I could have seen and read the sign. Funny!

The red lights around here, programmed by demons, caused us to sit there for more than a couple minutes and gave me time to think even more! If the tow truck were sitting on the side of a road near an accident awaiting a pick up, and ‘I’ was moving, I wouldn’t be able to read it then either! In each case, whether blocked or stopped, he wouldn’t be making money! But it’s not my concern!

The Tow Truck Driver uses the tow truck as a tool to make a living for himself. Maybe he has a family too! If he does, then making money is even more important. A car on the back blocking the window sign wouldn’t even be noticed. But as I said, whether someone else is making money or not really isn’t something I am required to do anything about. Wrecking my car might help… but!

As I write this I’m thinking, “how does this have ANYTHING to do with today’s Bible verse?” I ask myself this because I had written today’s Bible verse down… YESTERDAY! I don’t even remember why, but there it is! After seeing the tow truck, I can also see God’s hand and humor in it. God is ALWAYS moving and ALWAYS ahead of me, yet if I crash along the way, He is always right there too!

The Word of God has no instructions on HOW to make money, though earning a living is required as far back as the original sin! But the Word has LOTS to say about my attitude in earning it. Making money my priority or cheating people to get it are big no-no’s! What counts most to Him, is that I know, seek, rest and have Faith that He is ALWAYS on the job! Whether I’m stopped or moving!

Are YOU moving with Jesus? And if you are stopped or crashed, are you resting in His care for you?
