In response to:
He was discouraging people from taking those four flights. Together they could accommodate more than 1,000 passengers, yet there were only 266 aboard. He was on those four flights giving the terrified passengers the ability to stay calm.
God was also busy creating obstacles to prevent people who worked in the WTC from getting to work on time. The work day had begun, more than 50,000 people worked in the two towers, yet only 20,000 were at their desks
God held up each of the two mighty towers for a half hour so that the people on the lower floors could get out. And when He finally let go, He caused the towers to fall inward rather than to topple over, which would have killed so many more people.
And when the WTC and Pentagon buildings went down, my God picked up almost 3,500 of His children and carried them to their home for all eternity. He also sat down and cried that 19 of His children could have so much hate in their hearts, that they did not choose him, but another god that doesn't exist, and now they are lost forever
He sent people trained in dealing with earthly disasters to save those that were injured. And he sent in thousands of others to help in any way they were needed. And He brought people together across the world in a way that moved thousands to tears and hundreds of thousands to prayer—and caused millions to turn to the one true living God.
My thoughts too. Thanks for writing them out for me!!
In all of things, God is there.
If one listens for His voice and leans on Him, the bad "things" are seen to be no where as important as the love one feels from the inner peace of God.
In other words, the possibly horrible life swirling around their outer bodies cannot touch that faith within their body.
Many of the slaves, during that horrible time, were heard singing spiritual songs in the fields.
When people choose evil, God is there to comfort, (and possibly take home), those who were the recipients of that evil.
