@ the bolded...
Car accidents (and other traumatic experiences) are a part of life, sometimes based on our actions/decisions. At other times, we didn't have to do anything. I believe there are reasons some die and others don't and that has everything to do with God.
Whether saved or not people get involved in vehicular accidents every day. Being on the road increases one's chances on being involved in a vehicular accident whether it was our fault or not. NY preacher
David Wilkins was killed in a more recent car wreck. I remember when Gospel singer
Rev. Timothy Wright died. Christian band MercyMe was involved in a fatal wreck and knew people who died in car accidents, their experience yielded the soul-soothing song
"I Can Only Imagine" that no doubt has touched, and still is, touching many lives.
Then we have
Singer Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter, killed by her brother in a car accident. She was an innocent child, but God allowed her death. I mean really...when we look at car accidents I believe that God is always in control during those times. Good comes out of trauma and death, as in Chapman's case, for example, when he wrote a song that no doubt touched the lives of millions and may have saved many from suicide. If anyone has heard that song, they know what I'm talking about. We experience where the deaths of people are a wake-up call for others and others are led to Christ.
My point in sharing all this is, we never really know until we know from God Himself or see the fruit borne out death/trauma what God is saying.
Sometimes he may not be saying anything to the person involved in accident but using their lives to speak to others! We keep folks in prayer when they have escaped physical death, Christian or not. But we must hold fast and trust that God KNOWS what He is doing. Our job is simply prayer.
On those two separate vids, I'm really glad to see two different testimonies from two seemingly remarkable young women. One was confident and had no doubt she'd have made it to heaven.. I so enjoyed her testimony!!I am convinced that anyone who takes the time to listen to her testimony is in for a blessing.
God's ways are never our ways and I'm so grateful to Him for that!
