Eish! Some people had Angels watching.

Ht Firehand.
Some more background on the clip here as well...
Junk on the road together with potholes must contribute to the horrific toll on our roads as well... be careful out there!

That reminded me that God promised us that he would keep watch over us, here are just a few references to illustrate this promise.

Matthew 4:6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"

Matthew 4:11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and began ministering to his needs.


Luke 4:10 For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;


Luke 4:11 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"


Hebrews 1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?


1 Samuel 2:9 He will guard the feet of his saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness. "It is not by strength that one prevails;


Psalm 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.


Psalm 91:11 For he will order his angels to protect you in all you do.


Psalm 103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.


Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble.


Daniel 6:22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king."

There are many more if you are willing to read the Bible...

The most important promise however is that God will give you strength to keep your faith no matter what life throws your way once you have made the decision that He truly is the the way and the light of salvation.
Only when we realize that God has done what he promised through Jesus do we have the ability to do as asked in the Lords Prayer.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen
