1 May the Lord answer you when you are in distress;
may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. Psalm 20:1
Do you find God protecting you when you don't even know it? There is something about looking back on a situation and seeing how God was involved. Last weekend my son took my car out of town a significant distance, this is the same car that had been in the shop for six months waiting on a new engine. When he got back, he parked the car in front of the house and Sunday night something told me that I should probably go clean the bugs off the front of the windshield from his trip. As I walk up to the car, I look down and my front driver's side tire is separating. Note, this car does not have a spare and who knows what would have happened had the tire ripped open on his drive. Sometimes God protects us and nudges us through the Holy Spirit to keep us protected. We have to stop and listen when we are nudged and not ignore the simple prodding. I heard a great man say something similar this week about our body, that when something is wrong, our body will tell us and we need to get it checked out. We have to know how to listen carefully, and a lot of times that is shutting things down and just listening for that still small voice.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
