On August 13, 2004, Hurricane Charley
brought fierce destruction to areas of Florida. During the storm, 25-year-old
Danny Williams went outside to seek protection under the branches of a 55-year
old banyan tree.
Friends & family said that the
protective branches of the spreading tree had been a favorite peaceful place
for the Fort Meyers man. But on that day, his place of safety became a death
trap. The tree fell on Williams & killed him.
Sometimes, the places & situations we
look to for protection can ultimately be the most harmful.

Ps 118:8 (CEV): “It is better to trust the
LORD for protection than to trust anyone else.”
“Emmanuel - God with us. He who resided in
Heaven, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, willingly descended
into our world. He breathed our air, felt our pain, knew our sorrows and died
for our sins. He didn't come to frighten us, but to show us the way to warmth
and safety.” - Chuck Swindoll.
