God's Protection

I had posted a video of a band from the '80's on my facebook page. The band was Styper, whom I like very much. My cousin then made a follow up comment that made me think about what God has protected me from and I didn't even know it.

My cousins comment regarded a car accident that I was in with a friend of ours. We were just out cruising and listening to the car stereo. The funny thing is that we were listening to Styper as we were driving around. We were at a stop sign, waiting to turn left onto the highway. I saw a car to our right, and a set of headlights to our left. The car on the right did not move, so I thought that we had a lot of time to pull out (wrong). The headlights that we saw on the left were that of a construction semi truck. We started to pull out and the truck slammed into us and ripped off the front end of my car. My friend hit his head on the rear view mirror and broke it off and it fell into his lap. He had a headache. That was the worst thing that happened to us. We got out and started walking around the car. The driver of the truck stopped and came running, expecting to see us dead. He was amazed that we were still alive. All the praise to GOD for protecting us in that time of need. I wasn't even a believer at that time, and he still put His arms of protection around me and my friend. He saved us from being hurt really bad!

I have been in numerous car accidents where I should have been killed, or at least hurt very badly. I always came out of them with nary a scratch. I give all the glory to GOD now. He was and always has been looking out for me. He knew what he had planned for me, that long ago. It has taken me a very long time, and many wrong turns, to finally come to Jesus and accept Him as my personal savior! But I did. I can look back now and see all of the things that he has done for me without me even knowing about it. Praise GOD!

All of those car accidents I left behind a tangled, crumpled, pile of metal. But GOD kept me in one piece! I never had a scratch, broken bone, or any kind of trauma! Praise GOD! I don't deserve to be alive, but Jesus made sure that I was! He must have big plans for me. I have no idea of what they are, but He will reveal them to me in his time! Amen!
