Being blessed vs being guarded

Seven, it's  solid number. A week's seven days, the best shoe size, and about the time it takes to shave your legs. Yesterday, I was seven steps away to getting hit by a car. Reality check,.. actually, more like a reality face plant. I'm a few feet from the crosswalk when I hear a snap. Turn around, and there's a guy on the ground, skateboard snapped in half. I didn't turn cuz I heard the car screech, and the man never screamed. It was noise of that snap that turned me around . The man, getting up, never turned around, so I never saw his legs, or his hands, or his face. From the back, nothing seemed broken, but as he was ushered into the driver's car to go to the InstaCare, I noticed his broken skateboard laying on the side of the road. Walking away I had two thoughts in my head; what if it hadn't of been the skateboard, and God watches over his missionaries. Yes, God will give you bless you for doing righteous things, of this I have a testimony. But it's when you ARE righteous that you are guarded, watched, and protected over. This is why our Father doesn't want us to act as good people, he wants us to BE good people. It's funny how you'll never have time to hurry and do a good deed immediately before needing to reap that reward, that's why we need to do it everyday whenever we can. Then God's grace can protect us constantly, and not just a one time deal.
