The last time I drove my precious truck there was no hole in the tire.
Everything was in good shape when I drove it last. But now that my wife 
is driving it, a hole suspiciously appears in my tire. 

If you have ever owned a truck, you know exactly what was taking place.
That hole in the tire was my truck reaching out for me to come help it. 
I think my truck thought that if the tire was not working it would end 
this whole charade. Unbeknownst to my truck, my wife, undaunted by the 
situation, had my truck tire fixed. 

The hours struggled on and it seemed like an eternity. I ate my lunch in
silence, staring out the window where my truck used to be parked; now 
an empty space. 

After one thousand hours of excruciating pain, I heard my truck pull
into the driveway. As I gazed out the window, I saw the back of the 
truck piled high with “stuff. But there it was, safely in the driveway. 


Sometimes attachments can cause you a lot of anxiety. Only one
attachment in my life worth all the anxiety in the world. That is my 
relationship with Jesus Christ. Sometimes I do have an anxious moment 
but then I turn to the Scripture. 

I have this marvelous promise. “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee” (Isaiah 
26:3). 

When my mind is on the Lord, I don't mind anything else in the world.
