His Protection
When a cowboy applied for an insurance policy, the agent asked: “Have you ever had any accidents?”
“Nope,” replied the cowboy. “But a bronc did kick in two of my ribs last summer, and a few years ago a snake bit me on the ankle.”
“Wouldn’t you call those accidents?” asked the puzzled agent.
“Naw,” the cowboy said. “They did it on purpose!”
Today in the Word, November 8, 1995, p. 15.
“no one will lay a hand on you”
Therefore make up your minds not to prepare your defense ahead of time, for I will give you such words and a wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will even be betrayed by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will kill some of you. You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but not a hair of your head will be lost.
Luke 21:14-18
There are no accidents in the life of a Christian. This is just an incident in God’s perfect leading.”

“His Word will not return void” “I have many in this city”
18:10 I have many in this city. Jesus promises that Paul’s labors in Corinth will be fruitful because many people whom God has appointed to eternal life (13:48) and given to the Son (John 17:6) live in that city. Even though the elect Corinthians have not yet believed the gospel, they nevertheless are known to God.
For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return there without saturating the earth and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do.”
