I was listening to a testimony of an Egyptian Muslim who decided to trust Jesus to save Him. His Christian friend led him to Christ. After he wrote a book about it, he was imprisoned and tortured. At the 17:00 mark he described his anticipation of being torn by attack dogs the next day as he awaited in the dungeon.
At that point, I decided to stop it and read my Bible before bed. I opened to Philippians.
The Lord immediately brought my eyes to verse 2, then 1.
"Beware of dogs."
" To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe."
The Lord is so kind to speak to me from His words.
I remember the many times He has kept me safe from dog attacks. They usually attacked in pairs. One was a giant Great Dane walking home down the road one night after work. It and another dog kept lunging at me and I had no weapon.
(Has anyone read Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles? Yes, dogs do kill people.)
This was a freshly paved road clear of debris.
I backed up from them wanting at least something to..... Wait, what's that???
I just backed into a big tree limb with sharp bare branches that were pointing perfectly forward away from the trunk where I lifted it from behind !
It was put there by the Lord in the exact place and time to fight off the dogs.
He did the same when he gave Samson the jawbone of an ass.
Praise the Lord for His protection!
The video testimony will be continued in the following post.
