An Unsafe Life

Anticipating rain, I wear my enormous rain boots out onto the Gettysburg battlefields.  I won't dread the rain or flooding today!  But it doesn't rain; it's sunny and hot, and I find myself disappointed. 

I'm actually looking for deep puddles, sloshy ruts of mud, and soupy earth I might sink my boots into.

I march across a field with impenetrable protection.  There's nothing to fear with boots like these.  As I think about returning home and marching onward into any uncertain or dangerous territory, I recall God's protection:  impenetrable and so strong we find ourselves disappointed when life seems too safe to need it.
