“… he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways….”  Psalm 91:11

To you, Lord Jesus, the God of creation, the Guardian of Truth, the Giver of grace and the Guide of believers, to you be glory and honor this day. You are the great One: great in purity, in wisdom, in knowledge, in power, in might, in strength. There is no good you cannot do, there is no evil you can do.

You are Yahweh, the eternal I Am:

--sharply separate from your creation,

--utterly other than your creatures,

--gloriously unique in your holiness,

--majestically mighty in your strength,

--astoundingly outstanding in Your awesomeness,

-- beautifully bright in your brilliance.

You are all knowing, all seeing, all hearing. You are intensely, intimately involved what is happening in the lives of each of your children, carefully filtering events, protecting and guiding in each one, sometimes leading us through the valley of the shadow of death, and out the other side

.

As we make you our dwelling place, “the Most High, who is my refuge….he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone” (Ps. 91:9,11)

How true this has been in my experience, Lord Jesus, my Shepherd and Protector. How often while I was driving have you prevented me from changing lanes, when if I had, I would have hit a car in my blind spot. You caused me to hesitate, or to look over my shoulder, or to sense that a car was there when I could not see it. You send your angels to help, guide and protect.

I think of the dark evening when I was about to cross a small street  with no street lights, but for no apparent reason hesitated, and suddenly a black car with no lights flew by. If I’d stepped out as I had planned, I would have been run down.

And then recently I backed down a steep bank onto the road, but instead of turning and steeping into the road, I hesitated. Suddenly a car came by at a high speed and missed me by 2 inches! God protected me!

Help us to remember in the midst of difficulty that you are there, you have a plan and will whatever comes to us He will use for good!
