Where Was God?

How many of us have heard that question, 
"Where was your GOD when the World Trade Center 
and the Pentagon was attacked?" 

Well, I know where my GOD was 
the morning of September 11, 2001, 
and He was very busy! 

He was trying to discourage anyone from taking those flights. 
Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers 
and 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 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 held over 50,000 workers, 
this was a miracle in itself. 
How many of the people who were employed 
at the World Trade Center 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 when they did fall, they fell inward. 
GOD didn't allow them to topple over, 
as many more lives would have been lost. 

And when the buildings went down, 
my GOD picked up almost 6,000 of His children 
and carried them home with Him. 
Reassuring His frightened children that the worst was over 
and the best was yet to come.

He sat down and cried that 19 of His children 
could have so much hate in their hearts. 
That they didn't choose Him, 
but another god that doesn't exist, 
and now they are lost forever.

He sent his children that are best trained for this disaster 
and had them save the few that were still alive, 
but unable to help themselves.
And then sent many others to help in any way they were needed.

He still isn't finished though, 
He holds the loved ones left behind in His arms. 
He comforts them daily. 
His other children are given the strength to reach out to them 
and help them in any way they can.

And I believe He will continue to help us in what is to come. 
He will give the people in charge of this great nation 
the strength and the wisdom to do the right thing. 
He would never leave us in our time of need. 

So when anyone asks, 
"Where was your GOD on September 11th", 
you can say "Everywhere!"

And yes, 
although this is without a doubt 
the worst thing I have seen in my life, 
I see God's miracles in every bit of it. 
I keep praying for those who don't believe in GOD, 
every chance I have. 
I can't imagine going through such a difficult time 
and not believing in GOD. 
Life would be hopeless. 
 

I would say, "Author Unknown to me" 
but I believe God had a hand in writing this. 

If the Earthly Author steps forth, 
I will gladly give credit.
