Hannah Whitall Smith in her book "The Christian's Secret of a Happy Life," says that everything tat comes to us can become a chariot or a juggernaut car, depending on how we treat it.

Juggernaut is a word that comes into the English language from Hindu worship, especially the worship of the god Vishnu. The idol of Vishnu was placed on a heavy car with big, wide wheels. In an earlier time, the devotees of Vishnu would throw themselves under the car as it was being pulled through the streets in a holy procession. The juggernaut would crush them to death.

What happens to us depends, not on what the vents are, says Mrs. Smith, but on how we take them.

If we lie down and let our problems and difficulties roll over us, they become juggernaut cars and crush us. But if we climb up into them, as into a car of victory, and make them carry us onward and upward, then they become chariots of God.

“Look at the Nations and watch - and be UTTERLY AMAZED. for I am going to do something in YOUR days that you would not believe even if you were told” Habakkuk 1:5

Pastor Lyle
