I have shared this verse a couple of times now and having read further into the context I have found that I, like many others, have taken it out of context. This verse in it’s full context is regardinga believer being in the presence of a non-believer and trying to explain God’s existence, purpose and salvation. As someone who has only recently committed to God’s law and purpose for me and having a deep desire to share the journey I am trying to be very careful in accuracy. This is why it is so important to read the Bible in context without cherry picking verses whether for good or bad.
Though I have experienced a lesson in my own advice I will say that the words, when read by themselves are still true. This amazing group of people drove separately, taking different routes, and arriving at different times to fellowship outside of the church. All arrived and returned safely through God’s grace and behind the comfort of His shield. For this I am thankful and my wife and I truly felt blessed to share the time with them. In this photo you are seeing God’s children and though you cannot see Him God is in there too!
