This week. God where are you?

This week is the first anniversary of the rescue at the San Jose mine in Chile.

The great cry that erupted across the world on hearing of the 33 miners trapped at 650 meters was "God we need a miracle."

And the miracle came, but not before one of the men called his fellow miners to daily prayer meetings in the darkness and dust of their catacomb.

With about the same odds as finding a needle in a haystack, a surface probe pierced the gallery where the men were entombed.

Suddenly their darkness was illuminated by great rays of hope.
They had their answer as to where God was: right there with them half a mile below ground.

Needless to say, when the last miner stepped into the sunshine after the great escape, there were no skeptics left in doubt of their miracle.

Maybe that was the reason for their ordeal in the first place: to convince them and millions of others that God is real and at work in the midst of our daily distresses.

"God where are You?" 

About as close as your own skin!
