If anyone doubts God's presence, share this... |
|
I had a very dear friend question my faith in God
right after the terrorist attack on America. Her
question was simply put, "Where is your God today?"
She was very hurt, as all Americans were, so I tried
not to react
defensively. Since that moment I have prayed and
grieved over the disastrous events. However, I believe
I have the answer. I know where my God was the morning
of September 11, 2001! He was very busy. |
|
This is very good response if someone ask you this
question. |
|
| |
First of all, he was trying to discourage anyone from
taking this flight. Those four flights together could
hold over 1000 passengers, but there were only 266
aboard.
|
|
|
He was on 4 commercial flights giving terrified
passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the
family members who was called by a loved one on one of
the high-jacked planes said that passengers were
screaming in the background. On one of the flights he
was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake
the highjackers.
|
|
|
He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees
at the World Trade Center. After all only around
20,000 were at the towers when the first jet hit.
Since the buildings hold over 50,000 workers, this was
a miracle in itself. How many of the people who were
employed at the WTC told the media that they were late
for work or they had traffic delays.
|
|
|
| He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3 of
the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the
top of the towers didn't topple when the jets
impacted. |
|
| And what about how America and its people have come
together in prayer for our great nation and the world.
It's time we all remember where our strength comes
from - GOD. He wants us to look to Him for
everything, in good times and bad. This tragedy is a
wake up call for the world -- we need to start living
right, as God's people should. |
|
|
Although this is without a doubt the worst thing I
have seen in my life, I can see God's miracles in
every bit of it. I keep thinking about my friend and
praying for her every chance I have. I can't imagine
going through such a difficult time and not believing
in God. Life would be hopeless.

| The concrete and steel laid in twisted unrecognizable
masses. You would never believe such a thing could
happen. But it had happened, and it was right at the
front door of America. Terrorists had attacked in the mid
morning hour and destroyed the two towers making up the
World Trade Center. One-hundred-ten stories each
reaching high into the sky now laying in piles of rubble,
tons of concrete, steel, bodies, and memories.
Nothing was recognizable except the rescue
workers from all over the country, some even came from
other countries to help with rescue efforts that were
not in vain. The survivor count could never be much, but
if one person was alive they had to be found . Most of
the survivors were rescue workers themselves, caught in
the collapse after the building had been engulfed in
flames. Any survivors from the buildings had to be from
the floors that were below the impact points of the
hijacked jets. The upper floors could hold only
heartache and sorrow for our lost friends, family, and
co-workers. Days later, deep within the bowels of the World Trade Center,
the rescue became a recovery and cleanup mission,
as they continued looking for victims. As they cleared
away the rubble, tons of twisted, melted steel and
crushed concrete. they came upon the only recognizable
item left of the building. A CROSS! Maybe it was an
omen?

Is it time for a Salvation Check? Do
you know where God is in your life? |

And he cried out "Father why has thou forsaken
me?" Knowing the answer in himself as it had been
spoke by the prophets to the families of Israel. Jesus
said to his disciples prior to his crucifixion that
"he must go to prepare a place for them." This
place was a place in Heaven with our Lord. On the third
day after the crucifixion, angels of God appeared at the
Tomb where Jesus had been laid to rest and as the people
came to mourn the passing of their Lord they were ask
"why do you seek the living amongst the dead. The
Lord Jesus Christ was arisen." Jesus had to fulfill
the prophecies, he had to be slain in that through his
blood we may have life after death, For God so loved the
world that he gave his only son that who so ever
believeth in him shall never perish but have
everlasting life.
