Did God do it?

So many times I walk through a situation and wonder how it would be if God did not have his hand on my life. The day to day walk is sometimes over whelming and other times it seems so mundane and meaningless. Most acquaintances do not even know I am a believer. I do not wear a shield or praise God with every breath yet I know His hand is on my every move. He is there to guide me and hold me safe. I am not invincible my faith does not make me safe from life's stings or injury or even death. The world we live in is racked with heart break and dangers we face some type of threat everyday.
To drive on the freeway is one simple example, it is just as safe as going into a war zone, five thousand pound vehicles and the unbelievably large trucks are flying past at break neck speeds, cutting you off and seemingly aiming at you personally, claiming your space. Just thinking about it is a fearsome thought, experiencing those near misses time after time is something we take for granted. People are killed or maimed daily and we do not even think about it. We jump in our cars, stomp on the accelerator and merge into into the danger zone without a thought of the dreadful dangers or the horrific statistics. I like so many have to go through the Borgen round-about to get anywhere, what an adventure that is.
I say a prayer every time I start the engine; you see I have an aggressively determined personality and I tend to drive with a grit to my spirit that may surprise you. My personality is not naturally submissive, especially when I get behind the wheel so by reminding myself that God is with me tempers my aggressions. That is just one example one way I live with my faith, it is a daily experience I share with My Lord, no matter what comes my way I know His hand is on my life. There is an old song, In the Garden, that says "He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own" I love that song and it says exactly what my faith means to me. I feel He is with me in every thing I do, no matter what befalls my life I know that my Redeemer Liveth...
I want that song sang at my funeral as my last good bye, because it is what I believe.
My goodness this sounds like a sermon, anyway watching what has happened in Arizona reminds me of how safe I feel with God as my co-pilot. He is with me no matter what danger comes my way, we have a future together here and on the other side...
I am not afraid of one man's "crazy hatred" hate is all around us we experience it daily. I am disturbed by the negative insults that are being dropped here and there to make political points, they are not necessary and have nothing to do with this incident.
Enough said, life is a moment by moment experience we just never know what is ahead for us or the ones we love; so take on an extra protection and invite God to walk with you it is really quite easy.
