It Shall Not Come Nigh Thee

Psalm 91: 7  A thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

Reading this scripture, I thought about Corrie Ten Boom, the bold Dutch Christian who helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during WW II.

After her arrest, while standing in a search line at Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, she prayed that the officials wouldn't find the small Bible hidden under her clothes. Oh, how she needed God's Word.

As the guards worked their way down the line, she kept praying. When they came to her, an incident distracted them. Resuming their search, they accidentally skipped her. 

I remember the goose bumps rippling from my neck to my shoulders as I read about this in her book. During her incarceration, Corrie ministered to many prisoners and wrote books with her sister. Later, by a clerical error, God got her out of that stinkin' place.

We have the same God. Whatever peril crosses our path, He will be with us and protect us so we fully understand His love, His power, and His care for us?

I'm thankful. God is good.
