The Darkened Truck

A number of years ago, I was serving as Ward Clerk.  Late one evening, I decided to go to the church by myself to catch up on some records.  It was pitch dark as I pulled into the left turn lane to enter the church.  As I turned though, a solitary street light reflected something that caught my eye in my rearview mirror: a pickup truck was behind me, and was turning into the church close behind me.  All of the trucks lights were off, and I noticed as we turned together that the driver’s window had a shattered break in it.  I feeling of concern came over me, and the Spirit suddenly told me to get out of there.  Rather than parking in a parking stall, I pulled straight through it, circled back around the cement island, and exited the parking lot the same way I had come in.  The truck did the same, following close behind.  In this case though, as I turned right to head home, the truck turned left and continued on the way it had been going.

LESSON LEARNED:  I will never know the outcome if I had not heeded this warning and had gotten out of my car that night.  But I am fairly certain it would have been a bad outcome.  I am grateful for the Holy Ghost and the protection it can give.


FEEDBACK:  WHAT EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROTECTIVE INFLUENCE OF THE HOLY GHOST HAVE YOU HAD?
