I’m not going to say a lot about the rescue of the Chilean miners other that it was the answer to a lot of prayers and it was wonderful.  My two favorite articles on the rescue came from Hot Air<\/a> yesterday and the Washington Post<\/a> yesterday.  The article at Hot Air talked about the shift supervisor, Luis Urzua, who quietly assumed leadership early in the situtation and bears much of the credit for the fact that all of the men survived.  The Washington Post article deals with the role that the faith of the men played in their survival.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post reports:<\/p>\n

“The <\/em>Seventh-day Adventists sent mini-bibles<\/em><\/font><\/a> down to the crew, highlighting<\/em> Psalm 40:<\/em><\/font><\/a> “I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit … and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps.””<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As I listened to the news over the past two days, I was reminded of two other events when the world came together to pray for the safe return of people in danger.  The first was the flight of Apollo thirteen and the second was the rescue of Jessica McClure, an eighteen-month old child who fell into a well in Texas in 1987.  These are incidents that remind us that we are not in control.  I am grateful that God heard the prayers of those of us who were praying for the miners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
