God’s Wild Ride

(1 John 1, Psalms 4)

When my wife, Lois, and I started dating, I came up with a strategy to encourage her to fall more in love with me. She was a lot in love with me from the beginning, but I wanted to increase that.

What I decided to do was to take her to the amusement park. Once we had wandered around the amusement park for a while, and had enjoyed some of the games and food, I coolly asked her if she wanted to ride the Wild Mouse. Lois had never been on the Wild Mouse ride before. But I had. I knew how wild the Wild Mouse really was. She didn’t have any idea because it looked like an innocent ride.

I knew Lois’ personality and that going on the Wild Mouse would be a tough situation for her. But I hadn’t told her that. I had only mentioned that we should go on a nice ride together.

So we got on the Wild Mouse. The thing began to shoot out making it seem like our small car was going to fly right off of the edge of the track. Lois screamed. Then she scooted closer to me. Our car veered to the right and then shot out again making it seem like we were going to zoom straight out into mid-air. Lois screamed again. Then she scooted even more closely to me this time. By the end of the ride, Lois wasn’t sitting far away from me at all. She was sitting as close as possible. That had been my plan.

I had wanted Lois to sit closer all along. The Wild Mouse accomplished that.

Sometimes God puts us on a wild ride. Life seems to be out of our control. At times, God allows these situations because He knows they will move us closer to Him and when we get closer to Him, we will discover that He is more than we ever imagined Him to be.
