A bodyguard can quickly respond to an attack from any direction, agile and attentive, while the person they guard moves ahead with life. I will never forget Moise, one of my language helpers, sharing with me a story that illustrates the shield of the bodyguard.

A sorceress was asked to put a curse on a young woman in her village who had come to Christ. She mixed her "medicaments" and approached the woman's hut during the night, but found her way barred by some invisible barrier. So the next night she re-mixed the potion and approached from another direction, but found a barrier there as well; the next night the same, and so on.

When Moise heard her testimony at a conference this experience led her to get to know this Jesus who was taking such care of his devoted one—the sorceress had become a believer!

God is our protector, our shield, our helper.
