Have you ever heard people say, “I knew what do do when I prayed and then felt a sense of peace.”   I used to do that too until I realized it was entirely backwards!  God’s peace is our litmus test. It is to be a constant reality as we live in His Presence.

When that peace is removed, then I know I have stepped out of His arms of protection.

NEVER has this been more poignantly experienced than when I was in Africa, sitting on what I had believed was a safe bank above the Olifants River, one beautiful and peaceful afternoon.  All of a sudden, without any warning whatsoever, my heart began to panic, and fear gripped my entire body… (When Jesus Answers p. 191). Please read this startling and rather profound account and ask yourself, “Do I have this amazing safeguard in my life?”
