Protected by Angels
'...He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.' Psalm 91:11
Every two weeks the missionary went to the city to purchase medical supplies for a small field hospital where he served. On one of his trips he saw two men fighting on the street. One was seriously injured so he stopped, treated his wounds and shared God's love with him. Then he headed for home, stopping in the jungle to camp overnight. When he visited the city two weeks later a man approached him; the same one he'd helped on his previous trip. The man said, 'I knew you carried money and medicine with you, so our gang followed you to your camp planning to kill you for the money and the drugs. But just as we were about to attack, we saw twenty-six armed guards surrounding you.' The missionary replied, 'No, that's impossible; I was all alone.' The man countered, 'But my buddies saw them too. We counted them.' Months later when the missionary told this story back at his home church, a guy interrupted, 'Exactly what day did this take place?' When the missionary identified the specific day the guy was amazed. He said, 'On that exact night in Africa it was morning here, and I felt a strange urge to pray for you. It was so strong that I phoned some folks to come to the church and pray with me. Would all of you who prayed with me that day please stand up? One by one the missionary counted them; twenty-six,the exact number of the armed guards. The truth is: 'He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.'
