Safe From Harm

I love how the Lord uses everyday things to show us his love for us. I had been traveling down this same road for a week. On this stretch of highway I noticed two small puppies that looked like they were hungry. I had tried on several occasions to coax them into my car. They would stop and look at me and then run away. I feared for them because I knew that was a busy road and was so afraid they would get run over. I also knew that coyotes were in the woods and might eat them.I couldn't get them off my mind. I tried everything I could think of but never could get them to come to me so I could get them to safety. About the third time I drove by the Lord reveled something to me. We are like those puppies sometimes. The Lord does everything he can to get us to walk under his protecting shadow. Psalm 91:1 (KJV) ¹ He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He knows what sinful traps lay around us and he tries his best to keep us on the safe road.  We like the puppies don’t follow the Lord sometimes like we should. Maybe it is fear that keeps us from following or just plain disobedience. Whatever it may be rest assured that we never leave the Lords mind. He NEVER gives up on us. I haven’t seen the puppies anymore so I can only pray they found safety. This lesson from God has taught me to pray more earnestly for that one soul that may be closest to hell. I pray that someday they will listen to the call of the Lord and find safety everlasting from the path of sin.
