(Mat 2:13 NKJV) Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.”
I try to imagine what Joseph and Mary must have felt like when the angel of the Lord appeared to them. Now, that in itself is huge! Then, the angel goes on to tell them that Herod wants to kill their Son! That would totally freak me out! This is not hearsay from just anyone… this is from an angel of the Lord!
I am very protective of my children and grandchildren. If anyone tries to hurt them in any way, I’m like a pit-bull ready to attack. I have to really bite my tongue at times. But could you imagine if an angel of the Lord came to you and told you that someone is out to kill your child, or your mother, or spouse etc.?
I love the fact that God protected them and warned them when danger was approaching and led them through their journey and that they, in return, obeyed Him and followed His leading.
We need to understand that God wants to protect us all, and keep us safe. We too need to follow His leading. There is this awful enemy that would love to hurt us all. But we have someone that will PROTECT us.
Receive God’s protection that He provides for us today and be safe in Him.
