I read on comcast today that two small planes collided over Colorado. One plane was transporting several inmates to another prison. As you probably know mid air plan collisions are most always fatal to all who are involved. Well, not this time. Everyone, all the inmates included, survived. If God can save a criminal from in mid air plane collision, what more proof do we need that he has a plan for everyone?
This story could sound unfair when we look at our own lives and think about all the injustice around us. At least, that was my first reaction. But the more I thought about it the more I realized it is a good example of God's mercy, and also shows he just. He spared their lives, also guaranteeing they will be able to serve out the remainder of their sentences. Maybe they deserved a second chance, maybe they didn't deserve to be spared from the rest of their lives. Hmmm. Interesting story. Check it out on comcast.net.
