This Guy Chewed Me Out!

I was recently in the drive through line at a fast food restaurant, with what seemed like forever as our vehicles would inch their way to the window. For a brief moment, I put my truck in reverse to back up 2 inches, but it took about 5 seconds to do so. The driver in the car behind me went ballistic! Honking, yelling, swearing at me, and single digit hand jesters to go along with it!

I couldn’t believe it. For a moment I thought he was going to get out of his car and assault me! I turned around to repent of my ways, but that only made him angrier.

This continued till I was at the window to pay for my food. Immediately, the Holy Spirit prompted me, “Pay for the man’s meal behind you.” I’m like, “What? C’mon God, did you not see what he was doing to me?” I paid his bill and drove forward.

I have no idea what his response was when he found out the jerk in front of him paid for his meal, but that was now between him and God. My job was to listen to and walk in obedience to God’s word.

Lord bless those who persecute us.

And as we do…

You watch… You wait… They’ll see!
