There is so much we are protected from and some of it we are not even aware of. This is why we need to be thanking God for His mercies on a daily basis.
Don't be upset if you miss a train or bus or even if you have car trouble at times. Sometimes these simple things are the Lord's way of keeping us from dangerous situations. He knows what we do not so why should we not place all our trust in Him to keep us safe.
I was crossing the street recently when the light showed it was okay for me to do so. While halfway across a car ran the stoplight passing right next to me. For a moment I thought maybe the walk sign was not on but I looked up to see that it was in fact on. This driver was not turning onto the street I was crossing but coming straight at me.
This situation reminded me that only in Jesus I can trust because I could not depend on the fact that I had the right of way to cross, to not be hit by a vehicle. I thought to myself, this is why I'm completely dependent only on God for everything. If He does not help me, there is no help for me.
Our security is not found in anything or anyone else but Jesus. We cannot see what's ahead of us even when we are in our own homes thinking we are safe. We must depend solely on God's grace to get us through each and every day because He is our anchor and sure protection.
Psalms 4:8
I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalms 121:8
The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
