Today we examined a passage in 2 Kings about a floating axe head. Yep. You read that right. An axe head floated to the top of the water. The point? God cares for us tremendously, from our smallest needs to our life crises. The guy who lost a borrowed axe head wanted it back, so Elisha threw in a stick and it floated to the top. A true miracle. God cares.
The photo here is another example of God caring, specifically, for me and others who escaped the accident on I-40 that took the life of the individual beneath the half car under the trailer. I and a friend of mine were scouting out a mountain to hike, and along the way, escaped death, or rather God wanted us to continue our lives here. Essentially, it wasn't our time yet. And I'm grateful.
The scene was surreal, and the crash plays over and over in my head. I swerved like the Daytona 500 and for those of you who know my driving skills, that was no small feat. The white car you see, actually crossed my path at a 90 degree angle, in the 2nd lane from the left. That's how I close came to becoming involved in the accident. I saw the truck swerve and the car disintegrate in font of me all in a matter of moments.
I couldn't speak for a few moments as we traveled alone on the road with an 8 mile back up behind us either way on the interstate. My friend and I simply recounted the Providence of God upon our lives.
