Sometimes the enemy will throw things - Susan.coco.318
TESTIMONY TIME
Sometimes the enemy will throw things into our path just to steal our focus, keep us distracted, and pull our eyes away from Jesus. Sometimes those distractions can even become dangerous. But I’ve learned something, what the enemy means for evil, God has a way of turning around for good.
For quite some time, we had been dealing with serious problems with Sean’s truck. He had a 2021 Ram 1500 Lonestar, and he could be driving down the interstate, surrounded by bumper-to-bumper traffic, when suddenly the truck would just stop working. He would have to coast to the side of the road, shut it completely off, and restart it before he could continue.
It wasn’t just inconvenient anymore. It was becoming a serious safety issue.
Imagine being on the interstate with an eighteen-wheeler behind you and wondering whether your vehicle is suddenly going to quit. We knew something had to be wrong, whether it was electrical, the transmission, the engine, or something else. And this was a certified used truck that was purchased three years ago, with an extended warranty.
Eventually, it spent about two months in the shop while Sean had to use our son’s vehicle.
So we prayed.
We asked Jesus to loose provision over us and make a way where we couldn’t see one. We didn’t tell God how to fix it. We just asked Him to make a way.
Then we went to Herberts Town & Country and explained everything that had been happening. We told them how frightening it was to drive a vehicle when you never knew whether it might fail with an eighteen-wheeler coming up behind you.
And this is where the story gets good.
They didn’t just swap Sean out of the problematic truck.
They moved him from his 2021 Ram 1500 Lonestar into a 2026 Ram 1500 Hurricane Laramie, their top of the line elite model next to the Tungsten. But here’s the part that really gets me, they absorbed the flip side of the cost, stacked a tremendous amount of rebates onto the deal, and worked everything out so that after moving into this significantly upgraded truck, Sean’s payment stayed essentially the same.
Think about that.
We prayed, “Jesus, make a way.”
We were thinking about getting a broken truck fixed.
God had another route.
What felt like months of frustration, inconvenience, and even danger ended with Sean driving away in a brand-new 2026 Ram 1500 Hurricane Laramie, something far better than what he started with, without taking on a bigger monthly payment to get it.
That’s why sometimes you have to be careful about deciding what God’s answer is supposed to look like.
We ask Him to repair something, and sometimes He replaces it.
We ask Him to get us through the problem, and sometimes He uses the problem to move us into something better.
And I’m grateful for Hebert’s Town & Country because they didn’t have to go to those lengths. They listened to what was happening, recognized the seriousness of the situation, absorbed costs on their side, applied those rebates, and found a solution that actually took care of Sean instead of simply selling him another truck.
It almost felt like God stepped into that situation and said, “That’s My son. Take care of him.”
Genesis 50:20 says, “Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.”
Sometimes the good doesn’t look anything like you expected.
Sometimes you’re praying over the thing sitting broken in the shop, asking God to fix it, while He’s already preparing something completely different.
So this truck isn’t just a new truck to us.
It’s a reminder...
When you don’t see a way, pray anyway. When you don’t understand the delay, trust Him anyway. And don’t limit God’s provision to the solution you’ve already imagined.
Because sometimes you ask God to fix what you have...
and He says, “I’ve got something better.”
