I heard a loud grinding noise from the back of my car. The back end was being pushed to the right. I felt like God was telling me to turn the steering wheel ever so slightly to the right. It seemed like an hour but lasted only a few seconds. Finally the noise and pressure stopped and we both pulled over to the side of the expressway.11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.12 For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
God was a literal shield for me that day and I am thankful and grateful to know Him and be protected by Him. God stopped me from going into a deadly skid and roll at about 70 mph, when a young man (20 to 30), who was probably texting (according to the police officer), pressed into the left rear corner of my car.
I am not special. God said He would protect me if I made Him my refuge. I trust Him, I follow Him and I obey Him (very, very imperfectly) and He comes through on His promises. He does what He decides is in His and my best interest.
And He will for you too.
God loves you just as much as He does me. If you love Him and obey Him He takes responsibility for your welfare. Read the Bible, do what it says, and watch God fulfill His promises to you.
