Ok, I admit it. I watch too much Investigation Discovery!! I am fascinated by psychology and what makes people tick. I can't help it. ID feeds my desire to try and figure out what makes crazy people do crazy things!
My boys like to say some of my "deep thoughts" are a direct result of my Sunday afternoon ID marathons, and they may be right. One day, as I was sitting in traffic, I looked over at the car beside me and thought, "Oh my gosh. That guy could have a body in his trunk and I would just be sitting here completely unaware!" Think about it..the crazy people who are out there committing murders often transport the body to a secluded place for dumping. Somebody, somewhere, sat at a red light beside that guy!
Seriously, though, I do wonder how many times evil is skirting that closely to us and we are completely oblivious. How many times did Satan have a plan for something awful for us and God sent an angel to surround us and prevent the attack? Sometimes we make the seemingly small decision of which road to travel or what time to leave, and unbeknownst to us, that small decision might have been THE decision that actually saved our lives!
What if we had been a few seconds ahead in traffic when that car swerved into our lane? What if that road we chose to bypass had a tree fall across it at the exact time we would have been in that spot? These may sound like far-fetched ideas to some, but I do believe angels are often sent to intervene on our behalf. The bible speaks of just that!
Take a second to pray as you make even the smallest of decisions throughout the day. Just say, "Ok Lord. Which road should I take?" Seek His will in even the tiniest of plans. He will always have angels there ahead of you.
Psalm 91:11 (NIV) "For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways"
Exodus 23:20(NIV) “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared."
