O Come O Come oh Windshield Wiper!


Clutching the steering wheel and keeping the gas pedal at a nice and slow and steady speed due to the snow I ventured home traveling on I-75 North from Lebanon Ohio. My windshield wipers are the most obstinate accessory of my Ginger (my Honda Civic). In years past I've been in downpours of rain and the wipers decide to come off. The wiper somehow gets out of its track and turns 90 degrees- so that the wiper remains on my windshield; however is not beneficial and makes a high-pitched scratching noise. So as I'm driving home I have my windshield wipers on a medium speed due to the snow and then the ice starts forming, so I put it on the high speed. As I'm driving on 75 I approach the diverging of the I-75 from route 4 and that is when my windshield wiper decides to act obstinate and come off its track. There is no where for me to pull over- so I continue to pray and shift my body to the right so I can see. As I'm driving I'm thinking to myself- how vital it is to see both physically and spiritually. When we can't see things how God sees them we are in danger; I can go off into a ditch and get off the course. So as I got off the road and repositioned my wiper and had my prayer warriors praying, the course became much smoother as I regained my sight. Oh Lord- would you help us to see You, open our eyes Jesus- give us eyes to see Your kingdom, for if we don't we get off the course and it becomes dangerous- we may not only hurt ourselves but others.
