A Miracle in Kherson
Many have already seen the footage from Kherson, where a Russian drone was hunting a vegetable vendor. A heavyset, middle-aged man tried to run from the drone, but it caught up with him anyway.
The recording cuts off at the moment of the explosion — and it seems impossible that anyone could survive such a blast. But the man survived and did not even sustain serious injuries. There is no other way to describe this than as a miracle of God: the chances of coming out alive in such a situation are negligible.
God shows us miracles rarely, but each one should give us pause to reflect: Who is the true Master of our life and death, without Whose will not even a hair shall fall from our head.
And a special responsibility rests upon those whom God has preserved from certain death: such people must understand why they have been left on this earth. There may not be a second reprieve.
