God is Watching Over Us

It is always good when we can look back on situations and see that God had HIS hand on us. It says in Ps 121

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

This is true aways for a child of God. Allot of the time we do not see it but looking back on the events of yesterday, I can see it and I am just over come with thank fullness.

My wife Helen and I were traveling from Raleigh back to be with family in Texas for the Christmas Holiday. Our plane was 25 minutes late leaving the RDU airport but we had an hour layover in Memphis so there would not be a problem with connections. When we arrived in Memphis I discovered our flight to DFW from Memphis had been delayed an hour and forty five minutes. Looking at the Departure board I saw a plane leaving from Memphis leaving in 20 minutes going to Dallas Love Field. God worked it out to allowed us to get on that plane and we arrived in Dallas at 11:30 am. I was thankful to the Lord that I did not have to wait around at the air port an extra two hours. I did not realize what God had done until this morning when I was on the airlines website and saw that the plane we were originally scheduled on did not make it to Dallas but landed in Austin because of the snow storm in Dallas. Last night if not for God we would have spent Christmas eve in the Austin airport rather then a warm bed at my brother and sister in laws.
