I’m thankful that God knows what he’s doing and what is best for our lives. I’m so thankful for his protection throughout my life. Today I learned of a situation of somebody I used to be involved with. The Lord got me away from the individual a few years back. At the time my heart was broken, but the Lord showed me that it was for the best. Today I learned some disturbing news about the person, I won’t go into detail about the situation, it’s just a very bad one. We take God’s hand of protection for granted at times. He protects us from the seen and unseen. I have often wondered what my life would be like today if I hadn’t heeded the pull of God involving the person at the time, now I know. He will always protect his children. When I heard about the situation, a verse of scripture came to my mind. 2 Thessalonians 3:3. God protects us from evil and from those who wish to hurt us. So thankful for protection and for everything he’s kept me from. My life could be going a different direction if it wasn't for him.
