Angels Flexing over
our Protection!
Luke 4:10: For it is written: He shall give His angels
charge over you, to keep you.
Welcome to #Coffeehour @ Chicklit Power and Trench Classes
United. This is a new Monday series, and my heart hopes that you will find
meaning in Monday’s Mantra each week! Grab your favorite beverage and your
Strand of Faith (SOF) and come join me for a true story.
Mondays always seem to be extra busy for some reason,
especially now that I’m back to court reporting three to four days a week. Last
Monday was no exception; in fact, my to-do list seemed to be put on steroids –
meet with assistant, leadership training meeting, our Night of Purpose event
list of things to do, upcoming class to begin preparing for, raffle gifts to
procure, but in the midst of it all I needed and wanted to make time to have a
late lunch with my adopted mom who is recovering from pneumonia. This would be
our first lunch in weeks. I just needed to be with her. She’s calming for me,
understands me like no one else, gently advises and offers her wisdom, and has
this ability to bring my world back to a more accurate perception. She was
God’s first example of unconditional love in human form!
Anyway, we were inside eating lunch for a good hour and as
we made our way out, we were still talking while walking to my car…that is
until I looked up. What I saw rendered me speechless! Imagine me, a person of
soooo many words, speechless! J
I stopped mid-sentence and stood there, holding mom back as I pointed to what I
was seeing: my driver’s side car door wide open!
The movie replayed in my head and I realized that after
getting out of the car, and not shutting my door, heading for the trunk to get
her walker, then over to her to help her up, I just had a brain toot and forgot
to close and lock my door! We stood there a couple of seconds; I looked at her,
and she looked at the open door and at first this feeling of dreadful fear came
over me. I motioned for her to stay right there as I made my way across the
lane toward my car. With every step the fear lessened and when I got to the car
and peeked in the back seat to confirm that my laptop and newly purchased bags
of Bath & Body Works stuff was still there, I gasped…in thanksgiving more
than disbelief.
“Nothing’s taken, Mom” I hollered across the lane. I went
and got her and both of us were in a sort of dumbfounded quiet, both of us
knowing with every cell in our being that God’s angels had to do a bit of
overtime on my behalf. Angels were flexing over my protection for sure,
protecting everything that concerns me. There is no other explanation; no
denying He was defying any evil coming my way, protecting me from my mistake,
going ahead of me and watching behind me. To say I felt loved and protected is
an understatement.
May I challenge you to look for ways that He protects you
throughout your day; they may be blatant; they may be subtle but I can say with
an experienced certainty, His protection is there! Seek and find…
Love,
Evinda
