Acts 23:23 And he called for two centurions, saying, 'Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night. v.24 and provide mounts to set Paul on, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
In verses 12 and 13 we read how 40 men had banded together and bound themselves with an oath vowing to not eat or drink until they killed Paul!
Then we see God intervening by sending over 10 times that number of men to protect Paul on his journey so he wouldn't be harmed (470 men!) and He even provided Paul with fresh changes of horses for his comfort.
I hope that encourages you to know that whatever the enemy tries to plan for your hurt, God has it so well covered that it's almost laughable that the enemy thinks he'll win. God sent 10 times as many men to protect Paul and He'll send in as much or as many angels or whatever we need to protect and help us reach our goals and our destination.
Jesus could call on legions of angels and because we are now one Spirit with Him we too have legions of angels we can call on. Put it this way, if you need angel outriders on your life journey you'll have angel outriders and they'll keep you safe.
Psalm 91:11 For He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
That includes when we go for interviews, start a new job, when we see the lawyers who may be against us, when we may face persecution or just when we go shopping or going about daily life at home or going on a journey. Because we trust in God and have made Him our refuge and our fortress we should have a great sense and expectation of His protection.
Whatever the situation we're in or facing God has already prepared for us to be helped and protected, more than 10 times anything the enemy tries to throw at us. I hope that helps us all relax a little bit! 😊
Thank You Lord.
