On a dark and lonely street, I felt God's protection

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

One of my favorite passages in the Bible is from Psalms: “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” Several years ago I had an experience that clearly showed me the protective power of this promise.

I was returning home after a late-night shift that ended at 3:00 am. I didn’t live far from my workplace in Boston, Massachusetts, and I walked to work each day.

My employer had offered to pay for a taxi to take me home at the end of my shifts, but I declined. It was a short walk and I looked forward to the fresh air and the chance to unwind after work.
