"... it's lucky the Lord kept him safe"
Well .. in my Bible it says, "The Lord watches over HIS Word to PERFORM IT." [my accents]
Which means .. when I say, "No weapon formed against you [President Bush] can prosper". I'm not just talking to see if my mouth will move .. I'm giving the Lord HIS words to perform.
And .. since there are so many of us here at FR who pray for the President everyday - our prayers have much effect, "dynamic in their working".
Amen! Answered prayers for God's protection.
Originally "luck" as a word had a sense of looking back on an event that was providential. But I agree that GOD is the FAITHFUL AUTHOR of Life, WHOSE Will is not controlled by the stars, but Which, much rather, has written a Plan on the stars, which serve not only to indicate time, but Signs. Different people use English differently - but the SPIRIT inspires the same Amen to right Prayers of every linguistic style.
