What happened to the lady? She just drove away. She was probably scared out of her wits and wanted to just put distance between her and that wild man. What happened to the two Good Samaritans? Ken's knee was badly bruised and swollen and they both were badly shaken by this very unusual experience.
In such potentially life threatening situations, it makes one wonder what prompts people to help total strangers. And what prevents them from intentionally physically hurting the perpetrator of such situations.
The "Good Samaritan" story in the Bible is a classic example of how we, today, can seek to help those in trouble [Luke 10:30-37]. We also remember that we Christians have the wisdom of the Holy Spirit to help us discern what is the right thing to do in any given situation. It is a prompting to "do the right thing." We know it's the Holy Spirit because it does NOT beckon us to do violence to anyone, but, rather, to HELP OTHERS. That was my husband's first thought. He was not going to let the wild man hurt the lady, but he did nothing to intentionally hurt the man. He discerned that the man was "out of control."
It is my hope that others will hear of what happened and how my husband reacted, and they will remember to use the indwelling Holy Spirit's guiding presence to help others in THEIR lives when the opportunity is given to them.
