Today's devotional was about angels. I grew up with my mom teaching me to pray that the Lord would loose his angels to guard, protect and watch over me. So every morning before the girls get on the bus or before we get on with our day we pray and we loose our angels. The Bible says For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. ‘Because he loves me,’ says the LORD, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name’ (Psalm 91:11-14, NIV). Isn't it a wild thought that we have angels encamped around us? They watch over us and keep us from harm.

When I was growing up I clearly remember three times that I had near death experiences. One time when I was maybe 10 or 11, I was working in a concession stand at a baseball game. I didn't have rubber soled shoes on or anything grounded and I happened to touch a popcorn machine or something that had an electrical short in it. It took a hold of me and I felt myself being electrocuted. I seriously could not let go. Someone had to pull me off.

Another time I was at a friend's swimming pool and jumped in the deep end and sank to the bottom. I vividly remember looking up and my life more or less flashed before my eyes. I didn't know how to get to the surface. I was in panic mode. Someone jumped in and saved me. And then finally when I was in high school I was crossing over a busy highway and from out of the corner of my eye I saw a glimpse of silver. It was a kid I went to high school with in his tiny little sportscar. I had pulled directly in front of him. I remember crying with relief and shaking like a leaf. There was no way in the world his car didn't drive right through mine!!!
There are countless other times I'm sure that God has had his hand on my life and spared it in one way or another. Have you ever come close to death?? Do you believe in guardian angels??
Have a blessed day.
