WHERE WAS GOD
AUTHOR: JoyPurcell@mediaone.net
Where was God?
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.
First of all,
He was trying to discourage anyone from taking this flight.
Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers
and there was 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 high-jackers.
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.
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.
