Stand therefore, having fastened
on the belt of truth, and having put
on the breastplate of righteousness.
Ephesians 6:14 ESV

For the past few days, I've been thinking about all the times I cheated death...
...and how often the Lord protected me from harm. I figure I must have pissed the devil off for him to spend so much time and effort trying to knock me off. Looking back over my forty-six years of incarceration, truly the Lord has brought me a long way.
And even before I came to repent of my sins and asked Messiah Jesus to be my Savior, He was watching over me. I didn't realize it back then, but I do now. The Lord knows the end from the beginning. Therefore, knowing I would one day give my life and heart to Him, He had His strong hands of protection resting upon me. And let me tell you, I'm thankful.
Well, if anyone should give thanks to the Lord, it is me. I'm alive and well, and I am still standing strong. And with this in mind, I want to quote a passage from the 86th Psalm which came from the pen of King David, who said it so well, "I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever. For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Hell" (Psalm 86:12-13).
