It amazes me how you can read from something for years - and suddenly find a verse you've never noticed. I'm speaking of the Bible of course. Someone shared a verse with me that I've never taken note of. "The Lord tears down the house of the proud, but He protects the property of widows." Proverbs 15:25

The Lord certainly protected me with the intruder recently. And the verse has given me fresh confidence for the future. I watched the Celebration of Life/memorial services of 2 friends recently. Both left widows. I'm glad that the Lord is watching over all of us and protecting us and our properties.

Because Floyd was in the hospital for 5+ years before he passed away, I was used to being alone and on my own. So it surprised me how much more alone I felt when he passed away. I didn't expect that it would be such a big difference - but it was. I leaned into the Lord in a new, deeper way in asking Him to be my husband. He has been faithful to surround me with His comfort and presence. And now I have this lovely verse from Proverbs about His protection!

I hope any widows reading this will be encouraged that God is watching over you too.

"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him." Psalm 34:7

"You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble." Psalm 32:7

"The Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you." 2 Thessalonians 3:3

"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe." Proverbs 18:10

I particularly like that last verse. Years ago we used to sing a song taken from that verse. At times when I've felt vulnerable, I've pictured myself running into a strong tower and feeling safe with the army of the Lord protecting me and angels surrounding me.
