A testimony, even though it doesn't start off sounding like one...
We were on the last leg of our vacation, heading home. We spent the night in Georgia. We parked the car at the 1st space, next to the lobby entrance. In the morning, my husband put our luggage back in the car and went back in the lobby to check out. The rental car has keyless entry, automatic locking and keyless ignition, so when he walks away from the car, it locks. Well, we think someone had been watching and knew there is a short delay before it locks and must have opened a door on the far side. When we came back to the car, it was clear that the car had been "tossed". All of the compartments in the front were open with most of the contents on the front seats. There were also a few items of some value setting on the front seat, specifically my husband's digital camera with zoom lens. By the appearance, we surmised that they rifled through the front quickly, found nothing, jumped in the back, went through everything there (including my bag of souvenirs) & threw what they wanted on the front seat. Our laptops were in the back with the luggage so they "missed" them. But God!
"Something" must have spooked them because they didn't steal ANYTHING. They ran off without anything! I believe they saw a couple of big burly angels with their arms crossed watching them! Something scared them and it wasn't us. We didn't know anything had happened until we opened the car door.
When you are a citizen of the Kingdom of God, when you seek FIRST the Kingdom, you and your belongings are protected. My faith says I don't need a gun, weapons or a bodyguard. I've got God's protection and His Word isn't just empty words we read. His Word is abundant life everyday!
Be bold! Be fearless!

"For He will order His angels
to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone."
