He that dwelleth in the shelter of the Most High and abideth in the shadow of the Almighty, shall say to the Lord: "Thou art my protector and my refuge! My God, in Whom I trust." For he will rescue thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the sharp word. With his pinions will He shelter thee; and under His wings thou shalt be secure; like a shield His truth shall guard thee; thou shalt not fear the terrors of the night, nor the arrows that fly by day, nor the plague that prowleth in the dark, nor the noonday attack of the demon. A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand, yet no evil shall come nigh to thee. But with thine eyes thou shalt see and behold the punishment of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord thy hope, and the Most High thy refuge, no evil shall befall thee nor any plague come near thy dwelling. He has given His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways; They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the asp and the adder, the lion and the dragon thou shalt trample under foot. "Because he hath put his trust in Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him because he hath known My Name. He will call upon Me, and I will hear him; I will be with him in need, I will rescue him and bring him to honor. With length of days I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation." Psalm 90 Translation from - The Monastic Diurnal St. Michael's Abbey Press Farnborough, England
Ok this reminds me of something,...I know it may sound crazy, but here goes. About a year ago I was in Lowes,..I picked up a package and proceeded to walk very quickly looking at the package all the time I was walking,..not watching where I was going but walking at a very quick stride,..I may have gone 30 or 40 ft. this way,... when I stopped abruptly,..I don't know why but I stopped dead in my tracks,...when I looked up,..about 1 ft. in front of me was this great metal beam,..if I had continued walking the way I was and hit that beam,..it would have knocked me out cold. I will never forget it,.. the only explanation I have is my gaurdian angel instantaniously stopped me. So anyway thats what this Pslam made me think of. I was very greatful, even though I was doing something stupid I was still prevented from getting hurt...
