DIVINE PROTECTION

THE WORD FOR TODAY:I will protect those who trust in my name. Psalm 91:14 NLT
On a chilly March afternoon before going home for dinner, Pastor Walter Klempel fired up the church furnace in preparation for the choir practice. When it was time to return to church with his family they were delayed because his daughter changed clothes. At the time student Ladona Vadergrift was struggling with a geometry problem and stayed home to work on it. Sister Royena and Sadie Estes’ car wouldn’t start. Herbert Kipf lingered over a letter which he had put off writing. Joyce Black was feeling “plain lazy” and stayed home till the last minute. Pianist Marilyn Paul feel a sleep after dinner and her mom, the choir director had trouble waking her. Pals Lucille Jones and Dorothy Wood were late because of a radio broadcast every single choir member was late; something that’s never happened before nor since. Was it just a fluke? No! At 7:30 that night the Westside church was flattened by an explosion from a gas leak ignited by the furnace .......directly below the empty choir loft!
God’s looking out for you when you don’t even know you’re in danger! As His child you ‘live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by......God....He rescues you from every trap... He will shield you with his wings...His promises are your armour.....He orders his angels to protect you wherever you go’ (Psalm 91:1-11 TLB). The bible says: ‘The angels of the lord guards and rescues all who reverence him’ (Psalm 34:7 TLB);’to trust in God means safety ‘(proverbs 29:25 TLB). You can call it coincidence, chance, fate, or you can call it what it really is Divine Protetion!
THE FOR GRACE FOR DIVINE PROTECTION
