God sighting

Last week as country group, Lady Antebellum was traveling to Dallas, Hillary Scott's bus started on fire. Luckily she and her family were able to get off the bus but she lost all of her stuff. All but one item. Her Bible. She posted this on Facebook:
I just got this picture from the scene of the fire and HAD to share this. Today, when our bus caught on fire we had quite a few personal belongings in the back (where I was asleep before evacuating the bus) one of them being my Bible. I kid you not, EVERYTHING in the back lounge was destroyed from the flames, except my Bible. The outside cover was burned and messed up but NOT ONE PAGE was missing. Yall, God's Word will always stand. He is FOR YOU, WILL PROTECT YOU, AND HIS LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER FADE. My faith is forever deepened because of today. I hope this story deepens yours. - hills


This just struck me as something so amazing! I was overcome with the awesomeness. I then started reading the comments and heard story after story of firefighters and people that have experienced a house fire and they said everything was gone but the family Bible.
Now I know the skeptics will say that all books that are made of similar things as the Bible will also burn slowly or not at all but I don't think that is true. To me it is sign of how strong the Word of the Lord truly is and all that it can overcome. If we rely on it think what we could overcome! A book that is living and breathing, a book that has been around as long as the written word has been, and really even before then. It is a book that continues to be relevant, a book that continues to guide us down the path of a better life. A book that can be protected from fire, is a book that I want to get behind.
This was my God sighting this week, it was something that renewed my faith and vision. Something that reaffirmed that I made the right decision all those years ago to give my life to God and follow the path that he has set before me.
What was your God sighting this week? I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great week.
Until next time.
