Barry Blaze grew up in a Christian home as the son of a Baptist pastor, but during his teenage years, he drifted into the nightclub scene and became involved with drugs and destructive living. Everything changed when he encountered Christ during his time at university. His life was transformed, and his passion for music eventually led him to form the Christian rock band Code of Ethics, which became widely known in the 1990s for several successful Christian radio hits.
As Barry’s music ministry continued to grow, tragedy suddenly struck in May 2004.
While riding his motorcycle during rainy weather, Barry sensed a strong inner prompting warning him to stop and pull off the road. But because he was in a hurry to get home, he ignored the warning. Moments later, strong winds and lightning caused him to lose control and crash violently into a concrete barrier on a bridge.
The accident left him critically injured with severe head trauma, shattered bones, damaged ears, and serious injuries to his eyes. Doctors doubted he would survive.
Yet as God’s mercy preserved him,
Barry eventually recovered and returned to ministry, using his life and music as a testimony of God’s preserving grace and unfailing mercy.
Psalm 116:8 says, “For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.” This is the testimony of everyone who has experienced God’s love and mercy.
The truth is that many times we do not fully realize how much God has protected us from. There are dangers seen and unseen, traps arranged by the enemy, and situations that could have destroyed our lives completely. Yet somehow, God stepped in and preserved us.
It is the mercy of God that keeps us from being consumed.
Many of us can look back and remember accidents we survived, wrong decisions God rescued us from, sicknesses that should have overwhelmed us, or battles that should have broken us emotionally and spiritually. But God’s love continually intervened on our behalf.
Even when we make mistakes, God’s mercy still reaches for us when we genuinely turn back to Him. Like Jonah, whose disobedience nearly ruined his destiny, God still restored and redirected him.
God’s love is a shield and refuge to those who trust in Him. Therefore, let us passionately pursue a deeper walk with God through His Word, prayer, and obedience.
As we stay close to Him, certainly He will continue to preserve our lives, wipe away our tears, and keep our feet from falling.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank You for Your unending love and mercy that continually preserve and deliver me from danger. Please help me to remain sensitive to Your voice and obedient to Your leading, in Jesus’ Name.
