Oncoming Traffic

When I first arrived in the U.S. back in 1989, I was horrified to see cyclists riding towards oncoming traffic. I had never seen it before, and I thought it was thoughtless, until I thought about it. When I did that, it made sense. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration between the turn of the century and 2009, there were 466,000 bicycle injuries and a massive 7041 deaths, just in the United States. [1] Tragically, many a dead cyclist with his back to oncoming traffic, wouldn’t have known what hit him.

It makes sense to be prepared for tragedy, but we won’t avoid its fatal blow it if we are hit unaware. The way to avoid being crushed by life is to have faith in God to a point where we can say, “Though He slays me, yet will I trust Him.” Are you at that point? Get there quickly, because the problem isn’t with God. He is one hundred percent trustworthy.
