“Even when you are chased by those who seek your life, you are safe in the care of the Lord your God, secure in his treasure pouch!” 1 Samuel 25:29 (NLT)
Many years ago, I left a friend’s house and my daughter had fallen asleep in the back seat as I drove home. It was around nine o’clock and dark on a semi-desolate stretch of road. However, I knew the road well. As I was approaching a sharp curve, I heard a voice say, “slow down!” I immediately came to an almost stop moving ever so slightly. Then I saw it, car lights coming around the curve on my side of the road at a dangerously high rate of speed. By now, I am stopped. The car was aimed right at my driver’s side. The headlights glared within inches of my eyes. I just knew I was going to be T-boned and it was going to be catastrophic if not fatal. I heard the “clip.” I knew I had been hit, but where? It all happened so fast. I pulled into a driveway to inspect what caused the noise. After several attempts looking for some kind of evidence of both cars colliding – I saw it! Under the driver’s side mirror was a black streak! I knew that I knew God had supernaturally protected me and my daughter from a life threatening crash.
Like the true story I’ve just described when I knew God supernaturally intervened, I wonder how many times in our lives the Lord protected us from situations that sought our lives and we were unaware? The verse doesn’t say “if” it says “when.” The devil has a self-imposed relentless mandate to seek and devour.
That night many years ago is etched vividly in my memory, I stand in awe of our powerful Father who at a moment’s notice is mighty to save us from the devil’s attempted destruction.
“Father thank you for protecting and securing us as priceless gems in Your treasure pouch!”
For His Glory
