“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  January 30, 2008

 

          A few days ago a couple of us were heading down a path and noticed a bald eagle sitting in a tree within swooping distance from the entrance to a prairie dog den.   As we got closer to the eagle, it decided that it didn’t want to hang around with us in the area, so it flew away.  I don’t know if the prairie dogs knew how close their adversary was; but, through our intervention, they were safe.

          Have you ever thought about how close we have come to being devastated by the things that surround us?  Whether it was satan honing in on us or the events of the world making us it’s prey, more times than we realize, we have been close to becoming a victim.   As we become aware of our deliverance from these unseen events; we can either be thankful that fate delivered us or we can believe that there was something very real that intervened.  God has promised to be around and watch over His people, whether we are aware of it or not.  We will never know how many times He has saved us; so, periodically, let’s thank God for His intervention.  He has been our help in the past and is our hope for the future.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
