Two huge hydrogen bombs fell out of a plane over North Carolina. A surfer's camera randomly took a picture of a great white shark right below him. A Soviet submarine captain ordered a nuclear torpedo to be fired on the U.S.
The bombs didn't explode, the shark didn't bite, and the captain's order was countermanded. Author Eric Metaxas suggests that divine providence guards us from those near-misses that we had no idea about.Though not thought to be a Christian, Ben Franklin did ask delegates to the American constitutional convention (1787) to pray for wisdom about their decisions. Why would he ask this? Because, as he put it, “[T]he longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men."
