In His Hands

This morning as I studied, one of my dogs wouldn't stop barking. Finally, I had to go out and make her stop. I walked down the steps to my patio and went over to reprimand her. As I walked back, I almost stepped on this beautiful, large Copperhead-- pictured below-- by the way, he lost his head... I have no idea how I didn't step on it when I came by the first time (I literally had to step right where it was to get where I was going). It didn't move a muscle-- who knows, maybe it was told to "freeze" on my behalf... Keep in mind that HE has you in His hands today, and evil cannot strike in His presence, without His permission. I need to go easier on my dog-- that's what she was barking at.
