Scripture
"Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and the deadly pestilence." -Psalm 91:3
Praise the Lord for His divine protection against hidden dangers! I'm sure many believers have stories of close calls, when God snatched them out of the enemy's hands. When He healed them from deadly diseases. God has kept His children from dangers seen and unseen, and for that we thank Him. I remember when I was fresh out of college, and I was riding with my best friend and her brothers in the Upstate, and her tire blew out. The car started spinning, and I began to call on the name of Jesus. Suddenly, the car stopped mere inches from the concrete barrier. It could've been another way.
There are other witnesses whom God protected from imminent danger. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were protected from being burned in the fiery furnace. (Daniel 3). God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to provide a safe escape route from the Egyptians. (Exodus14) God warned Joseph and Mary in a dream to flee to Egypt. Jesus was kept safe from Herod's decree to kill infants. (Matthew 2). Elijah hid by the brook and was fed by a widow to protect him from famine and Ahab. (1 Kings 17). God's divine protection saved all of these people from calamity. There are countless more miracles, healings, and ways of escape in God's hands throughout the millennia.
Beloved, God's nature is consistent! If He did it before, He'll do it again! Has he saved you from the fowler's snare or the deadly pestilence? Take a moment and think back. If you can't think of a time, praise Him anyway because it means He kept you even when you were unaware. To God be the glory for His divine protection!
Prayer
Father, thank you for divine protection from the dangers we see and the dangers that are hidden. In Jesus' name. Amen
