Shock Absorber

When you hear shock absorber, I bet what comes to your mind first is that which prevents you from feeling the jolts and vibrations whenever your car moves on a bad or rough road. Or when your car is making sudden breaks, or cornering.

However, this is not all that there is to say about shock absorbers. Of course, a mechanic or someone who uses a car will definitely say that the role of a shock absorber is to hold the car tyres firmly on the road and provide comfort for every ride, but have you thought about shock absorbers responsible for comfort and stability during your life journey?

What holds the tyres of your life, preventing them from sudden vibrations or skidding off the road into a pit or trap? What gives you comfort in your life journey? What is your shock absorber?

Is it your monthly salary or that job that ensures you receive alert often? Or is it your husband or wife who earns more than you and ensures you never lack? Or is it that philanthropist who you are certain was specifically sent to you? Is it your parents' wealth ? Perhaps it's your hustle? 

Your answer could be anyone of the above but do you know that money which is a general factor in all of the above isn't totally a guarantee of total comfort or joy? Yes Godly riches comes without sorrow but have you ever been in a situation where you received a credit alert  on your phone but are not satisfied and still want more? That should tell you, that money doesn't totally or always  give comfort. 

What or who then should you consider as your shock absorber? When you suddenly find yourself on rough edges or when you find yourself trying to balance your ride, what do you rely on or look up to? What about when unexpected things happen?

The answer to these questions, you already know. Sometimes we know the power of something but we downplay the power, thinking that it is no big deal or it isn't as serious and potent. God is your only sure shock absorber. You must never downplay the power or hold of God over your life or journey.

Not only will God guarantee your comfort and safety. He will also prevent you from getting lost or struggling. Especially when you encounter sudden vibrations, potholes or a shaking.
