WherewasGod

Where was God on September 11?

I'm sure we've all had a moment or two when we've wondered exactly that question during the past month. We have been very hurt, as all Americans were. I have prayed and grieved over the disastrous events. However, I believe I have the answer. I know where God was the morning of September 11, 2001!

He was very busy.

First of all, He was trying to discourage anyone from taking a 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 were called by a loved one on one of the hijacked 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 hijackers. 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 may 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 two 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 can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in God. Life would be hopeless.
