I hate sitting still and that includes sitting at a red
light. I have to look around to see
what’s going on. On my way to work one
morning, I caught a red light and I happened to look up toward the power
lines. Running across Maynardville
Highway on the power line was a little squirrel. My first thought was, “Aw! How cute.” But then I got to thinking about what I had just seen.
That little squirrel was doing what came naturally to
it. It had no idea of how much power
was surging through underneath its feet as it scurried across on the line. It had no idea how close imminent danger
could be. It just did what it needed to
do.
“The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch
over your life;” Psalm 121:7 (NIV)
How many times are we
like that squirrel? God has His hand on us-keeping us safe and we have no idea
of the dangers He keeps from touching us. And not just dangers. There are many ways God works in our lives
to take care of us and works things out to our good that we are unaware
of. 
You know I believe this about our God. I wonder if when we get to heaven if He will say: "Let me show you what I did for you that you had no idea about." And, we'll stand in even greater awe of Him than we already do.
