Today, I was divinely shielded and protected as I scurried around like a monkey on the roof of our house in order to clean the gutter systems. Although I slid around a bit, God saw fit to keep me planted on the roof. The roof is steep and it was scary. I'm certain I was inches away from serious injury at more than a few points. I had no spotter for the extension ladder and no one outside to come to my aid if there were a problem. I just openly asked the Lord for protection and forged ahead.
Psalm 121 A song of ascents
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
The gutters are now clean and I'm safely planted on the ground. Tonight was a great night at church, with some truly moving worship and the company of good friends. After that, I enjoyed dinner and a movie with my lovely wife. Life is good. Thank you, God!
Good Night
