Uncovering the Unseen Hand of Protection
As we reflect on our lives, can we identify moments when God’s protection intervened on our behalf? A personal experience comes to mind, one that had a profound impact on my journey.
A Narrow Escape
During my junior year of college, I was drawn to a popular Christian movement. Some friends had decided to spend their summer at the movement’s flagship church, where they would be discipled. I attempted to follow in their footsteps, but every door slammed shut. It was as if an invisible force was redirecting me. Little did I know, this was just the beginning of a divine detour.
A New Path Unfolds
Another opportunity emerged – spending the summer in Brazil. This time, every door swung open with ease. Decades later, I realized that God had been protecting me all along. The movement I had initially been interested in had morphed into a dangerous and oppressive cult. In contrast, my time in Brazil introduced me to the liberating power of grace, filling my heart with joy and freedom.
Your Story of Protection
Have you experienced God’s protection in your life? Did He spare you from a toxic relationship or a career path that would have led to heartache? The Bible assures us of His watchful care. In 2 Thessalonians 3:3, Paul writes, “He will strengthen and protect you.” Psalm 91:11 reminds us, “He will command his angels to guard you.” We are enveloped in God’s loving protection, shielded by His tender care.
Wrapped in Love
God’s protection is not just a distant concept; it’s a tangible reality that surrounds us. It’s a cloak of love that shields us from harm, guiding us toward His perfect plan. As we look back on our lives, may we recognize the unseen hand of God, working tirelessly to protect and guide us.
