I found a five-year memory about our granddaughters...At that time the oldest was almost seven and the other one four and a half. The older one went out on the patio just ahead of me and Emme. I should have known that was a mistake in her eyes. We had taught her to not go out alone. This brought about the question of the day. "Nana who is going out with Delaney?" I replied back, “we are...in just one minute.” She looked up at me and with much authority said, "She needs a patrol." I thought well the backyard is fenced and the doors on the back are glass. We could see her. I felt confident she was safe. But there was a great concern for her sister's well being. We didn't tarry long and we were right by her side.
As a child of God, we don't have to ever feel alone. The word tells us He will never leave us or forsake us. Another great promise is Psalm 34:7, "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." We have a patrol! we have someone watching over us. Thank you, Lord!
In the wee hours of the midnight the angels can be felt as we remember what the Word tells us. It is wonderful to know that God doesn't need to be reminded where we are. He does, however, need us to believe that He has all things under control. He knows us by name and knows exactly where we are geographically and spiritually. He knows our every need. Psalm 34:15, "The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry." Psalm 34:17-19, "The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all." We just need to remember, He is our Father and He always wants what is best for His children. Yes, we have a patrol! We are not alone!
