A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. Ps 91:7
The above verse would be normal to you, but during my early views of Christianity, i thought the verse meant like in movies a sword would come and all people around you may fall or die and you would be kept alive just because we believe in God, but Lord showed it was not so. We as Christians undergo many trials and temptations daily, but the better fun is got when we see the hand of God, like how Moses was kept safe from the glow and power of Holy One, we too find this hand sometimes in our lives. You see, i have to walk for five minutes daily from bus stand to my office, and well in the middle of the path there is a bypass road, it connects Mount Road and GN Shetty road( for those who lived in Chennai), this small road is not bigger than 5m wide, any way i crossed the road, there was a lady ahead of me, and a man who was also walking with me, we all crossed the (small but busy road as it was a good bypass) road. then i heard a sound, like that of an accident, i thought two cars crashed into each other on the highway, and turned back. the man who walked side by side with me had fallen and was lying on ground. What happened was two bikes crashed into each other and one bike lost control and hit the guy who walked just 20cm from me. well i could have been on the ground, but for my Lord's hand, i am safe. I am doing well and fine in Lord, keep me in prayers. I have to learn the proper work of an intercessor, so keep me in prayers.
