Looking back,
It is obvious that I was shielded many times from the most severe consequences
Of my own thoughts, decisions, and actions; AND the plots and schemes of others.
It is as though the warning signs appeared right in front of me just when I needed them,
Even though as far as I could see there was no danger to me anywhere near.
Someone who cared saw the peril I could not.
And they clearly explained what could happen if I decided to keep going.
I might have lost my life; other times, perhaps I could have suffered great humiliation.
I will always be grateful for gentle guidance.
I don’t know why I was protected, for I don't see myself as anyone special;
But I'm certain I know 'WHO' warned me.
If asked to prove it, I couldn’t.
The proofs are much too personal.
So I remain quiet.
Looking to the days soon to be, I’m confident.
It’s not arrogance. It's education.
I've learned how to trust.
If I was protected when I just jumped into the depth of life without fist thinking (and I was) If I've been guarded from unseen creatures and their evil plotting ways (and I later diecovered I was),
Will it happen again when I need it?
Hindsight is not 20/20!
I still have no idea how I was protected, and the outcomes continue to make no sense.
All I know is I am here, I survived, and I am thriving.
There is no such thing as luck.
The wise will follow the advice of the wise.
The wise I refer to was a successful man who made devastating life mistakes
Yet was ultimately commended by his Creator for having a heart like His!
Foresight; the eyes of God, who alone sees clearly, will be my guide, and
“Hour by hour I will place my days in Your hand,
Safe from the hands out to get me.
Warm me with a smile, Lord;
Save me because you love me.”
(Ps. 31:15ff)
