When There's No Logical Explanation
[God] rides across the skies to... help us.
Deuteronomy 33:26 CEV
When Steve Anderson's mother-in-law developed cancer, his wife flew out to see her. Steve wanted to go too, but money was tight, so he prayed and his friend Joe offered to fly him in his two-seater Cessna airplane. Approaching their destination, they encountered thick fog, and after contacting the tower they learned that the airport was closed. The controller recommended they turn back, but fuel was low, so Steve prayed again. Finally a voice said, "Okay, we're readying the ground crew. Come in on emergency landing." Then as they descended the controller shouted, "Pull it up! Pull it up!" Through a break in the fog they saw that instead of approaching the airport they were over a busy highway and had narrowly missed an overpass! The controller continued, "Listen to me and I'll get you down," and calmly issued instructions till they landed safely. Picking up the radio, Joe told the tower, "We'd never have made it without you. Thanks, you saved our lives." The controller replied, "What're you talking about? We lost contact with you right after we told you to turn back. In fact, we were stunned when you broke through the clouds over the runway for a perfect landing!"
So, if the controller didn't guide them in, who did? There's no natural explanation, but on a supernatural level, "[God]… rides across the skies to… help us… He carries us in His arms!" (Deut 33:26,27). The Psalmist wrote, "God will command His angels to protect you wherever you go" (Psalm 91:11 CEV). Steve Anderson agrees, "I believe God sent an angel to bring us in safely." And He'll do the same for you!
