Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
The choir always met for practice at 7:30 PM on Tuesdays at the little church in Kansas. One particular Tuesday evening each of the 40+ choir members, including their leader, were somehow hindered from being there at 7:30.
One became ill, another had car trouble, another got a last minute phone call, etc.
On that Tuesday evening at 7:36 PM, gas that had been leaking from a ruptured gas line under the church exploded, totally demolishing the church. Had there been any one there, they would have ben killed, but thanks to the providence of God, they were all spared.
Only in Heaven will we fully comprehend the times when God in His providence has stepped between us — shielded us — from something awful that was coming our way.
