God's Protection!
Soooo for the rest of the month, I'll be in Chapel Hill anddddd randomly enough this apartment, ON UNC's wireless campus, doesn't have wireless and I don't have an Ethernet cable at the moment... So these devotionals will be sent from my phone!
Anyways, I wanted to check in and share how grateful I am for the protecting angels I have guarding my life! You all have no idea how many legit car accidents I SHOULD have been in but that I have never been in! The one that I was in, didn't scratch me or my car... Someone bumped my bumper at a stop light. I am thankful that he wasn't going faster because that would have been crucial!
Psalm 91 is a passage that God gave to me which helps me realize the magnitude of how awesome His protection is!! I am simply amazed and overwhelmed when I think of how many situations tried to damage me and alter my life! God is protecting me to proclaim the gospel as I am doing now and for even greater works in the future!
Quick testimony-- God's protection has even protected my temple when I wasn't even trying to protect it! IN THE PAST (high school/ freshman year in college) there were many times on my way to have sex with someone, God would block it. In my dorm room when I would lay in the bed with my boyfriend... God would block it! Someone would knock on the door, my roommate would come back, and many other random things which always prevented me from contaminating my temple prematurely!
I THANK and PRAISE God so much for His divine grace and His wisdom! Most importantly I thank Him from saving me from myself! I don't have a "dramatic" or "extreme" testimony like many may have but I know that God has protected me from experiencing so much in my former ignorance!
Now I am excited that I can be confident that my heart is pleasing to God and that I no longer have the same desires that I had three short years ago! God and His protection has been key to my life so far and I am blessed to know that God will keep His end of the deal as long as I stay focused on Him! In those times where I get distracted and complacent, God's mercy will offer me another chance to get it right!
I could go on and on and on about God and His goodness toward me because this birthday is really emotional for me! God loved me enough to save me! To protect me! To give me 23 years of life! I'm alive! I still have a purpose! I have a college degree! I have a career working in college access! I am so thankful!
Thank you Lord!
Y'all be blessed and enjoy Jesus more! Love y'all!
