“He rescues and saves his people; he performs miraculous signs and wonders in the heavens and on earth. He has rescued Daniel from the power of the lions.” Daniel 6:27 NLT
Not long ago, the media ran a story of a boy whose life had been saved by the family dog during a sudden cougar attack. Before the child even knew what was taking place, the dog had thrown himself between the boy and the cougar, taking upon himself the vicious claws and teeth, giving the boy an opportunity to escape, and convincing the cougar he could find easier prey elsewhere.
Most of us probably are clueless to the potential threats surrounding us during each day. We usually react with disbelief if we hear of crimes committed in our own neighborhoods. Wars, natural disasters, and terrorist bombings are subjects for the evening news. How could they possibly happen to us?
God does watch over us. But in this world are many evils. He knows the dangers before they are revealed to us. Remaining close to God is our best defense in uncertain days.
God, watch over me today and protect me from unseen dangers.
