Praise report based on Ps91.
Ps91:2 I will say of the Lord,He is my refuge and my fortress: My God: In Him will I trust.
The word refuge in hebrew (machaceh) refuge from rain or storm.
I have been replacing my dining room floor with ceramic tile. There was a storm coming into our area Friday evening and I said to my wife,"I better put the tile saw in the garage". The storm had not reached my house yet or at least thats what I thought. Just as I got to the table outside that I had the saw on there was a tremendous boom and lightning struck my garage which was approximately 30 to 40 feet from where I was. I stood in awe as I saw the lightning hitting at various parts of the garage and the damage that it was doing. After that I was in greater awe because I saw the provision of The Lord in protecting me. I tell you friends we serve an awesome God and I thank and praise Him for His grace.
Blessed for ever more.

Praise The Lord Richard,
Amen, God's mercy and protection follows us about even when we are not paying attention. Not long ago I was changing out the electrical plug on my dryer (220), there are various shaped prongs on each outlet, so I had to run to Home Depot and pick up a different one. Well to make a long story short, I, apparently without thinking, decided to make sure I had the right one before connecting all the wires.( I'd already make one trip and got the wrong one ) I plugged it in without kicking off the breaker, my hand was only an inch or so from the uncovered end of the cord, it melted the ends together and blew flame and black smoke out the end, not to mention 220 volts of electricity. Needless to say, I had a little thank you Jesus meeting right there, once my heart rate returned to normal. I filed this under two different headings of events in my mind, one under God's provisions, Ps. 91; and the other under,'What were you thinking?' I'm glad God doesn't withdraw His protection when we do something stupid; that's not to say we should go about being stupid just to see God's promises fullfilled.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
