Chapter 17-Lord Protect me and All I Care About

Lord Protect me and All I Care About. This is a short but very powerful chapter. Reading this chapter made me realize that there is so much we take for granted and not necessarily praising God for. Let’s reflect for a second ladies, just think for a second about the last five years, think about everybody you came in contact with or knew, now think for another second are we here with all these people? Now for another second think about the news and think about every incident reported, whether it being wars, deaths, shooting , natural disasters and what not . Ladies do you see where am going with this? Count how many times you taught it was it and you screamed or said to your self “in the name of Jesus” or my favorite saying “it will not be my portion today God” and nothing happened? This is because God protect us and answers our prayers instantly in times of Crisis .We should consider our selves very lucky and thank the POWER and BLOOD of GOD for the protection he send his Guardian Angels to do for us.

God is great and he works in so many mysterious ways. There are many instance things could have happened to us but he protected each one of us from it. God forbid but there were times where you saw your whole life flash in front of you just like Stormie but BABA GOD came to our rescue. Guys as funny as it may sound and you have all rights to laugh because I laughed my self and like Vanessa always say Nana why does things like this always happen to you. Good question only if I knew the answer. Two Saturdays ago Chicago had a series of weather changes it snowed, it got really cold, it rained and t it got really slippery and looked like an ice ring outside. On my way to visit a good friend of mine and her children I slipped from the top of the stairs outside flew up up in the air and landed on the bottom of the stairs extra hard on my posterior ( oh it really hurts and I am still paying the price). Ladies am not exaggerating I tried to get up and something pulled me back, so I sat right back and reflected for a second and said God please help me .So I tried a second time and I got up even though it my spine and  bum was in massive pain. I put a smile on my face and said Thank you Lord and walked carefully for the rest of my journey. To cut the long story short, the next day I went to braid my hair and the braider shared a sad story with me about how a Togolese man was pronounced dead the night before from slipping from the stairs. I shared my funny but serious fall with my sister as well, she told me to consider my self lucky and how years back a friend’s mum slipped in the snow as well and lost her memory. This could have been me y’all but God with his power did not let it be my portion. We need to thank him everyday. Like the book said part of being protected by God has to do with obeying and living in his will.. I for one know am guilty and take things for granted but reading this has been an eye opener for me to Thank and walk in his will more so should all of us.

 

I will like to end my post today with the bible versus Stormie stated “The fear of LORD is a fountain of life, to turn one way from the snare of death” (Proverbs 14:26-27). And always remember, when we have our eyes on God, He keeps and eye on us.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL CHICAS AND LOVE YALL. AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL THESE LAST FEW WEEKS OF WINTER>
