WheelsOfGrace.com | Volume 14 Issue 4 | 5 A few weeks ago, I went on an overnight ride with a group of Black Sheep. We got to our hotel a bit later than expected so we got some quick fast- food for dinner and called it a night. The next morning as the group got ready to head out to our destination for the day, one of our members was having some difficulty with his bike. It appeared that he had locked his handlebars the night before and now his ignition switch was stuck in the lock position. With the ignition switch in the lock position, he couldn't get his bike to straighten up, let alone start. We immediately called over another BSHDFC member (who is a mechanic) to help and our fellow Black Sheep brother was more than happy to assist. I watched as they both started working on the bike, trying to unlock the handlebars and ignition switch. As the minutes spent working on the bike increased, I started to feel that this issue was not going to get resolved here at this parking lot and that we would have Black Sheep HDFC In the App Store BlackSheep BlackSheep HARLEY-DAVIDSONS FOR CHRIST M/M BlackSheep BlackSheep HARLEY-DAVIDSONS FOR CHRIST M/M BlackSheep BlackSheep BlackSheepHDFC.org (951) 677-1407 BlackSheepHDFC.org (951) 677-1407 BlackSheepHDFC.org (951) 677-1407 BlackSheepHDFC.org (951) 677-1407 to get the bike towed to the nearest H-D dealership. In that moment I recalled a similar situation I was in years back (that's a funny story for another time) in which I hesitantly offered to pray over someone's bike to start and it actually did! So, I went ahead and suggested to both BSHDFC brothers that we pray over the bike and the stuck handlebars. Very soon after we finished with our prayer, the ignition switch became unstuck, and the handlebars were then able to be unlocked. Now I'm not suggesting that I'm the Benny Hinn of repairing motorcycles. What I am suggesting is that we don't neglect to seek first the Lord in prayer in all situations we find ourselves in (1Thess. 5:16; Phil. 4:6; 1 John 5:14; Luke 11:9-13). We almost always seek the Lord when we face major issues and trials, but we fail to seek Him with the minor stuff, as if we would be bothering our God with our trivial situation. Nothing is further from the truth. There's no trivial stuff for the Lord. God is a loving Father (1 John 3:1) and He knows everything about us (Psalm 139). So, next time you find yourself in a situation you might think trifling, or your handlebars are stuck, seek Jesus FIRST. He is our Abba Father, always there to listen. ~Love you all, Laz!
