Guardian Angels
"For the angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence Him" (Psalm 
34:7).

For many years my travels have taken me from continent to continent, to 
scores of countries each year. I have traveled under all kinds of 
circumstances, not a few times faced with danger. But always there was peace 
in my heart that the Lord was with me and I was surrounded by His guardian 
angels to protect me.

In Pakistan, during a time of great political upheaval, I had finished a 
series of meetings in Lahore and was taken to the train station. Though I 
was unaware of what was happening, an angry crowd of thousands was marching 
on the station to destroy it with cocktail bombs.

The director of the railway line rushed us onto the train, put us in our 
compartments and told us not to open our doors under any circumstances - 
unless we knew that the one knocking was a friend. The train ride to Karachi 
would require more than 24 hours, which was just the time I needed to finish 
rewriting my book Come Help Change the World.

So I put on my pajamas, got in my berth and began to read and write. It was 
not until we arrived in Karachi some 28 hours later that I discovered how 
guardian angels had watched over us and protected us. The train in front of 
us had been burned when rioting students had lain on the track and refused 
to move. So the train ran over them and killed them. In retaliation, the mob 
burned the train and killed the officials.

Now we were the next train and they were prepared to do the same for us. But 
God miraculously went before us and there were no mishaps. We arrived in 
Karachi to discover that martial law had been declared and all was peaceful. 
A Red Cross van took us to the hotel and there God continued to protect us. 
When the violence subsided we were able to catch a plane out of Karachi for 
Europe.

TODAY'S ACTION POINT: Today I will make a special point of expressing my 
gratitude to God for assigning guardian angels to watch over me, protect and 
help me in my time of trouble. I will not take for granted the protection 
that many times in the past I have overlooked, not recognizing God's 
miraculous, divine intervention, enabling me to live a supernatural life.
