Our Defender

We have some new neighbors that just moved. Really nice folks, have children, and also a dog! As our kids were playing with their kids a few days ago their dog saw the activity and wanted to get involved. Well, White Fang (the dog who adopted us as his family) didn't know this other dog and took offense to his interest in the Boykin kids. So White Fang ran up, positioned himself between this other dog and our kids, and sought to protect his family - even to the point of having to fight this other dog!

Too often when we think of God as our King we only think of His rules and authority and how we must submit, somehow feeling it's oppressive. But truly, as our King, God is our defender - He positions Himself between us and our enemies, He will protect us! This is a great comfort for me and all God's children.

btw, I think White Fang and our neighbor have become acquainted and there shouldn't be any more dog fights!

feeling safe and secure,
Burt
