Miracles? You decide...

I’ve had two experiences this past week which have shown me a new aspect of God. Each were situations – accidents – in which I should have been severely hurt.

One was falling from five feet from the cab of a tow-truck, flat on my back, into a mud puddle. I received no bruising, and only the slightest of pain in the palm of my right hand and my right wrist, none of which persisted beyond the day of the accident. It all happened so quickly that I didn’t know what happened – one moment I was about to climb down to the ground, and the next, I was on the ground, on my back! And somehow, I unconsciously (rather, God) kept my head and neck up, cause if they had been parallel to my body, I surely would have smacked my head/neck on the curb of the street! Did God miraculously intervene?

Wednesday, I managed to close a car door on my left hand. When I realized what I had done, I sort of went into shock and told the others what I had done… and then opened the door with my free hand. The shock dissipated when I freed my hand and discovered there was no broken skin, no bruising, or pain in the very least! I was able to move all my fingers (the door closed over my fingers along the middle knuckles) and bend them at every joint, with no pain!

I cannot explain either of these situations – except to say that God was there, protecting me. I rejoice in Him! What a God, what a Saviour!
