Protection
Those who know my husband well will know he is one of the least racist people there is. I say this as a prelude to what I want to blog about here.... hoping that no-one gets the wrong impression!
Dick was on his way home the other evening after work (7pmish) and as he drove away from the Casualty set he almost ended up having the front of our car smashed to bits by a speeding taxi who just managed to pull up with a screech of tires, stopping inches from Dick. As you might imagine, Dick was rather shocked at this and it showed in his face and in him throwing up his hands - He assures me there was no other hand or finger gestures. Anyway the taxi guy (asian) got out of the taxi (he had 2 asian passengers) and started walking to Dick shouting and remonstrating wildly "what the f*** are you looking at you B******" etc.... Dick got out of the car and explained that the reason he had looked at the guy was due to the shock of nearly being hit! During this interjection two other cars came screaming to a halt behind the taxi..... each had 4 asians in (it certainly looked like they had been racing). At this point Dick realised that the situation could possibly turn nasty as he was now well outnumbered. He turned to walk back to the car and as he started to get in the taxi driver shouted "you f****** white trash"
I am posting this to again demonstrate yet again the faithfulness of God..... I know He protected Dick in that situation as I had prayed for Dick's protection earlier in the day.... the whole incident was quite strange to Dick on many levels - but particularly the fact that, even though there were so many against one person - no physical violence occurred and I again praise God yet again because I know that the stress caused in such a situation, for Dick with his heart probs, could easily have proved fatal.
I am becoming increasingly aware of the devil looking to devour, kill & steal...... and of the fact that, at this point in time, Dick has not recognised his need of Christ as his Saviour - and therefore urgency of my commission.
