I sit here thinking this morning about situations in my life where God has protected me. A month or so ago I had a really tough meeting at school. I had to sit and listen to a parent tell me what a terrible teacher I was. I had to hear things that were not true. She even talked about how she felt her child was not safe with me. It was very difficult to sit in silence and listen to her discredit me as a teacher.
Prior to the meeting I spent a lot of time in prayer. I knew these things were not true but allegations are allegations. When going into the conference room that day I felt a sense of peace. My heart was not racing. My mind was calm. My lips were silenced.
He parted the sea for me that day.
The parent looked very foolish in her allegations. She eventually chose to send her child to another school.
God protects me more times than I am even aware of. In times of troubles I am often saying "where are you God" but he is right there. Just like in this story he "withdrew and went behind" me. He comes between me and the armies against me and protects me.
It is sometimes really clear but sometimes not.
Sometimes his greatest blessings come from what I think are disappointments. I may think that I should have been chosen to do something great at work or church and feel like I was not good enough or popular enough to be chosen but in all reality God was protecting me the entire time.
I encourage you today to look for those moments that God has provided dry ground for you. I bet that they are not very hard to see.
Lord thank you for protecting me. Thank you for the disappointments that were really your divine intervention. Lord be with these women today as they go out into the world today that is filled with Pharaoh's. God Almighty, protect them from all angels. Give them the wisdom and discernment to make decisions that are apart of your plan and not from our own. Lord we know the enemy is real but YOU are the Lord God Almighty, protector of your people. We will stand strong in our faith and give you the honor and glory for the parting of the turbulent seas in our lives. -Amen
