For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. – Psalm 91:11
One
of the greatest pleasures of my life is being a grandfather. When my
first grandson was born we became quite good
buddies, and the two of us would go out to breakfast now and then.
When his cousin was old enough, he joined our party and the three of us
were together
for these occasions.
After one of our pleasant
breakfast outings, we went to a local department store to check out the
toys. When we finally returned to the car, I instructed
the younger one to stand by the door and wait while I placed the
older boy in his booster seat. As I was strapping him into the seat, I
accidentally
bumped the horn. Moving out of the car to get the other child, I
bumped the horn again, which was upsetting to me because it was so
unnecessary.
It was then that I noticed
the car next to me. There were two people inside and the motor was
running. They were waiting to see why I kept honking the
horn. I signaled for them to wait as I looked for my younger
grandson. I found him directly behind the other car; he was trying to
read the license
plate! Had the driver of the other car not heard the horn and
waited, I am sure the younger boy would have been seriously injured or
even killed. As
I pulled him away, I thanked the ladies for patiently waiting, and I
thanked God for allowing me to honk the horn twice, even though it was
not intentional!
I am sure that God’s angels
were on the scene that day—they were there to keep us in all our ways,
and it was no accident that I honked the horn.
We probably do not have any idea how often God and His angels are
standing by to assist us, but I am convinced this was one such instance.
Let’s not
lose an opportunity to thank Him for always being there.
