Coming to grips with road rage

Here's the way to safe travel.

By Sharon Slaton Howell

To Have To worry about inadvertently offending a fellow driver and triggering anger and possible violence can certainly play havoc with one's peace of mind when driving.

Yet this also raises a much larger issue: Is life subject to forces beyond our control? The Bible offers this reassurance: "The kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations" (Ps. 22:28). God unerringly controls all activity and motion, and this truth is practical in our daily lives.

How comforting to realize that God, the all-wise, all-directing, and all-seeing divine Mind, is in control of our lives and the lives of everyone else we come in contact with on the roads. Understanding this potent spiritual fact, we don't have to fear the possibility of being victimized by the foolish or uncontrolled behavior of another driver. And we'll help lessen such occurrences in general.
