Have you ever felt like you had angels watching over you or you were miraculously protected from something?
There have been several things that have happened in my life but one of the first things I remember was when I was about 17. I was driving home from a school event after dark, and I hit a deer on the highway. It hit hard, crushed my radiator, and water was gushing out. I knew I could not drive the truck home. This was in the days before cell phones, so I took off walking. My plan was to walk to the closest house and call home. I prayed for protection as I began to walk along the dark highway.
At a crossroads
When I came to an intersection, I stood there for a minute. I was trying to decide whether to turn down this dirt road to a house I could see in the distance or continue down the highway. I noticed a cross that was nailed to a fence post and it held my attention as I prayed which way I should go. About that time a car pulled into the intersection to turn around. It was my sister! I ran to the car and knocked on the window. (scared my poor niece to death) She hadn’t seen me but had seen my truck beside the road and was going back to check on me. I was so relieved and thankful! It was perfect timing!
Trusting in God’s protection
If I had not lingered at the cross those few minutes, I would have been on down the road and would have not been there when my sister pulled into that intersection. I felt surrounded by protection, even though I was scared. I was watching my surroundings and my answer pulled right in front of me.
When you are at a crossroads and wondering which way to go, don’t move to hastily. Spend some time at the cross. Take your focus off the problem for a few minutes and focus on the Problem Solver. Your answer and direction will come, when you least expect it. It will be there at just the right time. Just keep trusting Him.
For He shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11
