Testimony 22/03/06: Safety Belts

I went to Tasikmalaya today, a place famous for its quality embroidery. My colleagues and I were on our way to visit our business partner.

I suggested my colleagues to wear safety belts while in the car. But they refused. Well… it is not compulsory for back seat passengers to wear one in Indonesia. So my colleagues didn’t see it necessary. But I didn’t feel at peace.

It is a three-hour drive from Bandung to Tasik. If anything should happen, the people not wearing safety belts will be like that of a pin ball, tossed here and there and, not only they injure themselves, they will also injure others in the car, even those wearing the belts. I prayed in my heart, “God, please send us safely to Tasik.”

Not long after that, they voluntarily took the belts and wore them! Unbelievable! Oh how God answers prayer! Praise God!
