In the midst of life's uncertainties and dangers, there are moments when we recognize that our lives have been spared by the grace of God. 

These moments remind us of God's protection, mercy, and purpose for our lives. Today, we will explore seven scriptures that highlight instances where God spares lives and what we can learn from these acts of divine intervention.

1. Psalm 91:14-16

"Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation."

2. Psalm 34:7

"The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them."

3. Genesis 50:20

"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive."

4. Exodus 14:13-14

"And Moses said to the people, 'Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.'"

5. Daniel 6:22

"My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you."

6. Acts 27:22-24

"And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.'"

7. John 11:43-44

"Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth!' And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Loose him, and let him go.'"

The resurrection of Lazarus is a powerful example of God's authority over life and death. Jesus' command brings Lazarus back to life, demonstrating that God can spare and restore life in ways beyond our understanding. This miracle underscores the hope and assurance we have in God's power to bring life out of death.

When God spares our lives, it is a profound reminder of His love, protection, and purpose for us. These scriptures not only highlight God's saving acts but also call us to respond with faith, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to His will. Let us trust in God's promises, knowing that He holds our lives in His hands and has a purpose for every moment He grants us.
