Getting right with God

Thank God for Potholes

Do you enjoy running through potholes? Most of us don’t. They are hard on your tires, shocks, and other car parts. They make you spill your coffee. There is nothing happy about potholes. Except for one Ray Lee of Salisbury, Great Britain.

Lee, 63 years old, was exercising back in July when his heart began racing. His exercise machine, attached to his body, recorded 190 beats per minute. Lee’s wife called the paramedics who came out to the house. They checked him over and decided to rush him to the hospital.

On the way, the ambulance hit a huge pothole – vibrating everything inside. Including Ray Lee’s heart! Immediately, his heart dropped out of its ventricular arrhythmia and got back in beat. Lee stayed in the hospital for three days and was released.  The jolt caused by that pothole set Lee’s heart back on the right path.

You and I get jolted sometimes – and it’s a good thing. When a faithful friend, dedicated to our advancement in Christ, points out something we are doing inappropriate, the jolt may be startling but it can be positive.

The wise man writes: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy” (Proverbs 27:6). Similarly, in Proverbs 20:30, we read: “Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clean the innermost parts.”

David writes something similar: “Let a righteous man strike me–it is a kindness; let him rebuke me–it is oil for my head; let my head not refuse it. Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds” (Psalm 141:5).

The next time we get corrected, we ought not to pout, sulk, or become bitter. We should consider the importance of the “jolt” and use it to get our hearts back in line with Christ. We’ll be thankful we did.

–Paul Holland
