Car
One day when I was visiting my father, I heard a van outside playing a musical tune. It brought back childhood memories of being allowed the occasional special treat of buying an ice cream from a similar van. I had just before this been thinking about my grandmother and how when she grew up she had to ride a horse, walk or use a sulky for transport. My grandmother really didn’t like horses much and told me once that she was really thankful when the bicycle had been invented. She was, I’m sure, really pleased when she was able to drive a car.
How far has the technology come in the last hundred years, now they are talking about driverless cars although I don’t know that I really ready to put my life into the hands, or should that me chips, of a computer. After all the news has also been reporting about a cars computer system being hacked into by someone and deliberately crashing the car.
Again as I think about how things have changed, even in my lifetime let alone since my grandmother was born, I still cannot imagine what they would be like one hundred years from now.
But there is one thing that I was also taught as a child and I have had to learn it for myself and that is that no matter what changes, cars, life, family or even my memories, God is the same today and forever and I can definitely put my life into His hands and know that it will always be safe. Hebrews 13:8 says “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” And Lamentations 3:22-23 says “The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness”. These two things I know.
