Skip the Bananas

(Psa 118:6 KJV)  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

(Proverbs 24 also read)

The answer to the question is, “Quite a lot.”  That is not the point.  Of course we can be robbed, oppressed and persecuted.  Every time I miss a green light or come to a detour I feel like someone has it in for me.  What the Psalmist is saying is look beyond the immediate.

I know I can have problems.  I also know that God will provide a way out.  I know that there is a bigger picture that I may not see.  It is like going to an art museum to see a famous painting and being forced to look at some kind of modern art like a banana taped to the wall as you walk to the exhibit down the hall.  It may be that not making that green light will keep you from being crushed by an eighteen wheeler that will capsize down the road.

So?  Live in trust and expectation.  God has your back.  And, of course, your front and sides also.
