WHERE WAS GOD IN ALL OF THIS?
First of all, God was trying to discourage anyone from
taking this flight. Those four flights together held
over 1000 passengers and there was only 266 aboard.
God 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 God was giving strength to
passengers to try to overtake the highjackers.
God 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?
God was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3
of the workers could get out. It was so amazing that
the top of the towers didn't topple when the jets
impacted.
God was in the rescue workers who were running into
the buildings as most people were running out.
God was in the flight attendant who called her husband
as her plane was being hijacked to tell him that she
loved him.
God was in the two men who carried a wheelchair-bound
woman down 70 flights of stairs to safety.
God was in the people who stood bleeding, in line to
give blood.
God was in the strangers in cars, picking up strangers
stranded in the city and taking them home to their
families.
God is in the people who are begging to volunteer, to
do anything to help.
God is in the thousands, if not millions who are
flooding blood banks thousands of miles away to help
people they have never met.
God is in the people who are comforting someone even
when they don't know what to say.
God is in the people who watched and cried for people
who may remain anonymous in name, but never in their
sacrifice.
God is in my neighborhood where I see flags waving
from every home.
God is in the men and women, looking at 110 stories of
rubble, and seeing only the opportunity to find
survivors.
God is with the heroes, most of whom will never be on
the news, whose stories will only be told to their
closest friends and family; but who saved someone's
mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son,
husband, wife, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle,
cousin, lover, colleague, acquaintance, teacher,
mentor or friend with a single act of kindness,
compassion and bravery.
God was not in the hearts of the people that caused
these inhumane events. However, God was indeed there,
where he was needed the most.
