This is a writing shared from Joanne Schleck:

 

Genesis 28:15: "What's more, I am with you, and will protect you wherever
you go."

We always enjoy the majestic view from our condo in Carefree, Ariz. The
backdrop is magnificent, as the mountain ranges display all their beauty
from afar. I enjoy the overall view, but am really more interested in
the foreground. The jackrabbits and birds abound, and it is fun to watch
them frolic and look for food.

Our first evening on the porch filled us with awe as we absorbed the
beauty and enjoyed the animals. Before long, the rabbits perked their
ears and took off at a dead run. The birds took to flight also.

As we wondered what was going on, a coyote soon came into view. The
predator. On the prowl. Looking for something to consume. Slinking
stealthy along at a brisk pace; he was definitely after prey.

God has given animals a special sense of predator danger, and that is
why the rabbits and birds dispersed. Oh, that we would be as aware as our
animal friends: Satan is the predator in our lives, and he is always on
the prowl, looking to consume us. He is the destroyer, and nothing good
ever comes from him. He is the author of death and disease, misery and
heartache, and every sinful thing in this world. He sneaks up upon us,
and will grab and devours us unless we are protected. That's why I put
on God's armor every single day, giving me protection from the evil one. I
still must be on the lookout... for Satan's ways are devious, and it is
easy to fall prey to his conniving schemes.

 

May we call upon God for His protection for He is ready and willing to help meet our every need.
