We Know This

The man who hit Matthew's car illegally used the bus lane to bypass two cars in front of him turning left at an intersection, so he could continue to go straight. He was obviously in a hurry on the way to work. Matthew was also turning left in the opposite direction of the other two cars turning left. When Matthew saw the speeding car in the bus lane, he stopped. The other man did not and almost ripped the front end of the vehicle Matthew was driving.

When this man got out of his car, he told Matthew he was uninsured, driving a car which belonged to his brother's girlfriend, and had a long history of traffic accidents. And if things couldn't get worse, he refuses to report the accident. The police report therefore cannot be completed. Now Matthew has to wait until the police can locate the other driver, which could take a long time. (In Edmonton, there is currently a major shortage of police officers.) In the mean time, Matthew has to drive around a car with the front bumper tied on with zip ties, working at a prestigious country club. Ouch! I guess God is teaching him humility. Either that or maybe a very wealthy person at the club will feel sorry for him and buy him a new vehicle. ( I will let you know if that happens!)

All I do know for certain is that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

"And we know that in all things

God works for the good of those

who love Him,

who have been called 

according to His purpose."

Romans 8:28 (NIV)

Matthew loves God, so good will come out of all this!
