Comments on: Do You Remember? http://www.witharmshigh.com/2009/09/11/do-you-remember/ Not THE Man, Just A Man, Surrendered Fully To God Sat, 24 Sep 2011 17:33:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Chris http://www.witharmshigh.com/2009/09/11/do-you-remember/#comment-238 Chris Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:38:37 +0000 http://www.witharmshigh.com/?p=151#comment-238 You know, I think that today has been the first year that I have actually been silenced by the thought of this day since 2001. To know that so many innocent people lost their lives. They woke up just like any one of us does on any given day and yet you wonder did it cross one mind that morning that this day was different and this day may be the day I lose my life? It makes you wonder that if a person knew that fact, would they be doing what they are doing today? Would that person have gone to work like any other day and gone through the motions of a busy life striving toward the goals of success we set for ourselves? I wonder if anyone woke up that died that day and said this could be my last day and so Im going to work but Im going to work with a purpose as a child of God to be bold in my faith and show the love of Jesus? Do we as so called "followers of God" ever wake up and ask ourselves that question or make that statement and commitment? What went through the minds of those who overtook the plane? Do you think they were doubting their god at the moment they stepped onto that plane knowing that they were about to kill themselves? Or the moment they began decent and aimed the nose of the plane at those buildings? What causes a human to be so convinced that what they are doing is right or for a cause that is worth more than their own life and the lives of others? Were they confused? Were they deceived? Did they even question what they were doing? I think about the things in my life and how God reveals to me His power and existence to help me understand and believe in His existance. I just wonder what convinces a person to do what was done that day. What signs were they shown that what they were about to do was right? What was their god telling them? My heart was broken today for those families that are unsure or do not know the love of God. For those families who may have lost someone on this day. I see these events and believe that God still did good with something so evil and horrible. I will never be able to fully understand our God but I have faith that He is in control and his plan is perfect. Proverbs 3: 25-26 Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared.
