God's hand of protection

Do you believe that God's hand of protection is always in our lives? My wife and I saw God's protection on us up close and personal this morning, and we are so thankful. It was a situation where if God had not protected us, we would be injured and our car would be badly damaged. What God did was amazing!!!

This morning while driving to send my wife to work, the traffic was heavy. It was raining and the road was wet. Furthermore there are pools of water everywhere.

Suddenly a car stopped as the driver was trying to avoid a pool of water. He is not able to take the left lane as there was other car. Another car that was tailing the first car closely was not able to brake on time and hit the first car. Subsequently, two other cars crash into the second car.

My car was the fifth car. My wife notice and quickly told me to be careful. Thank God, I am able to apply my brake and swayed the car to the left. Praise the Lord, there was no car in the left or behind me. I know with my own strength, I would not have manage to avoid this accident but His Hand and favor was upon us this morning.

Psalms 91 says:

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. 5 You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. 8 You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. 9 If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge- 10 then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. 11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. 14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."

The Lord is indeed my refuge and my present help in time of need.

Be Blessed.
