My Protection

Sometimes people say "Jill,you must really like a man in uniform." With Kyle serving 9 years in the military and now being a police officer. He once trained some in jujitsu and always insists on carrying a gun. Needless to say, I have always thought of myself as well protected.
But yesterday, as Kyle was leading Onelife Church in worship, I found a new feeling of protection. As his voice filled the room with praise, his arms lifted high in surrender and complete worship, I saw another gift of protection God has given me, undeserving. He has given me a man to lead and protect our family, who I can lean on for support, who will teach our children how sinners can be redeemed. God spared my husband's life in war so that His purpose will be fulfilled and His kingdom may expand. I'm so grateful that God chose us, though we fall short, to live out our lives for him each day.

The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. For you, Lord, have delivered me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living. Psalms 116:5-9
