The Lord Preserves His People

Have you ever been afraid of something bad happening to you or your family? I know the feeling. A few years ago when the stock market crashed, it set off a great recession in this country that devastated many lives. People lost their homes, jobs and even for some their savings. I will never forget it. My wife who managed several branches which provided funds for the builders of homes, came home one day and said she was laid off. This was right after of the purchase of our second home. This was something that I was not ready for. It triggered a chain of events that took away almost everything that I had, including all my savings. If that wasn’t enough, the job that I was working for at the time started to downsize and people were getting laid off. I remember one day that one of the big bosses came and started to call people in one by one. Before my name was called, I said to the Lord, remember your promises to me. I can remember from that from point on, I had a sense of peace. I knew that God had it all under control and I was asked to stay. Psalm 121:7 The LORD keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
