One day, while at a job site, I was standing next to my friend Tony Meston. We were standing in front of the garage of a new two story home that was being framed up on Cleo Street in Laguna Beach CA. As Tony and I were talking I heard a voice clearly say to me, in my head, "Take two steps sideways." I ignored the voice while thinking to myself, "That was weird." Then I heard the voice again. A third time I heard the voice, only this time it was very emphatic and commanding.

So I took two steps sideways. No sooner had I done this when a 28 ounce framing hammer slammed down on the ground from above. The large hammer would have crushed my skull with a direct hit had I not moved. Tony said, "How did you know that was going to happen?"

I didn't know, but God did and he sent His words to me to save me from certain death. This kind of divine protection has happened to me so many times over the years. This next post relates to these kind of things...

Are You in Good Hands? by James Ryle

“Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge” (Psalm 91:3)

It seems that there is a plan or a pill for everything — I guess that’s the new American Dream.

Don’t buy into it, my friend. Put not your trust in princes, for their political prowess is based upon compromise at every point. Rather than govern by the high principles that make for the greatest of people, they opt for the path of least resistance. And that is what make both rivers and men shallow and crooked.

Rest your life in God’s hands alone. Let all your hopes and dreams, your aspirations and plans, your well-being and your future rest securely in His care. And do not allow the prattle of man’s devices to lure you into a lesser allegiance.

Spurgeon wrote, “Assuredly no subtle plot shall succeed against one who has the eyes of God watching for his defense. We are foolish and weak as poor little birds, and are very apt to be lured to our destruction by cunning foes, but if we dwell near to God, he will see to it that the most skilful deceiver shall not entrap us.”

Faith in God constitutes a ground of security at such times when the snare of the fowler and the noisome pestilence ransack any nation.

Are you in good hands? You are if your life is placed in the trustworthy Hands of God. For He will cover you “with His feathers” and His truth will be “your shield and buckler.”
