God, Our Protector

In 1969, I was drafted into the U.S. Army.  The Viet Nam war was still in full swing.  As I went off to basic training, Patty and I memorized Ps. 91 together so we would have God’s Word to hold onto for protection.  It worked.  He was faithful.

Although trained for combat as an infantry foot soldier, I was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone where we were blessed to live off base.  Julie was born there.  The Lord had diverted my orders from the war.

He showed us His ability to protect.  In His care is the safest place in the universe.

DAILY PRAYER:  Father, You are our shelter and hiding place. In You we take refuge from every danger we experience.  We live in faith.  We live without fear.

DAILY READING:  Ps. 91-7
