With hearts overflowing with gratitude, we lift up a praise report to the Most High God for His unfailing protection over our family at 190. On what could have been a tragic day, the hand of the Lord was evident, shielding us from harm and turning what the enemy meant for destruction into a testimony of His faithfulness.
It was in the stillness of the evening when our neighbor, by divine orchestration, checked their back door camera and saw the fire. Their timely awareness became the first sign of God’s intervention. In perfect alignment with His will, our son—who was scheduled to be at work—was instead home that day, positioned by the Holy Spirit to act swiftly. He was able to contain the fire until the fire trucks arrived, preventing what could have been a devastating disaster.
Just three feet to the right of the flames sat the gas line attached to our home. Yet, by God’s sovereign protection, the fire did not spread. It did not reach the source of what could have caused an explosion. The authorities reviewed the footage, searching for any human cause—an unattended cigarette, a passerby, or an intentional act—but no one was seen. No natural explanation could account for the fire’s origin, confirming that only God’s unseen hand was at work.
The enemy had a plan, but God had a greater purpose. What could have been loss became a testimony. What could have been sorrow turned into joy. We stand in awe of the One who commands the flames and declares, “No harm shall come near your dwelling” (Psalm 91:10).
To God be all the glory, honor, and praise for His Divine Protection over 190!
