I have a similar story. I was with my son 4 years old and we were in dire peril we were on an ice packed rd my tires were turned to make the corner but i was going straight i wanted to jump out but my son was buckeled into his booster seat and there was no time to get hm out. So i knew we were going to go over together, i could not leave him and a voice i never heard before told me what i needed to do but my brain refused, the voice said sternly " hit the gas NOW !" But that would just send me faster over the cliff but the voice never let up," hit the gas now!!" So i did and that cliff we were sliding towards with just feet left before we would have crashed into a raging creek at the bottom of that cliff, became the bank on the other side of the road. The voice saved us, I'll never forget that ever. God is real and he loves us.

@@shannab8232 you can spin it any way you want the fact remains that God refused to intervene and they drowned as a result.

You hear countless stories of people almost drowning and how scary it was. These poor people felt that.

[@rrrealqueen]

​​​@@h91rex100 To the above concerns is that God does not intervene because in His divine wisdom He knows that such intervention would not be in our best eternal interests. Doing so, if he were to directly intervene we wouldn't reach our divine potential. Tomorrow Isn't promised, God's ways are bigger than our own and all God's works are good. In the Bible verse James 4:13-15, “Today or tomorrow [a]we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that." In this Bible Verse, John 3:16 God already have given us eternal life. And in the New Testament, God says when it comes to human affairs of the world we should be ready with the holy spirit in our hearts when our time on this earth comes. John 3:16 God gave his only begotten Son so that whoever believes in him should have everlasting life. God Gave us freedom, and wants freedom to remain free. And through Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the King Of ALL Kings. He promised us a Way Into His Holy Kingdom and that every sin is forgiven when we put our faith in Jesus Christ. Our time in this world isn't promised. Everyone has free will. Divine Intervention comes at a cost and doesn't allow us to grow to our full potential spiritually. God bless you🙏 and the Mother of this Family and others Hurt by the tragedy. He's in a better place now. And May God's love cover and hear all them. In the Holy Name Of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen! They are truly unselfish in having more regard for lost souls than for the suffering they must endure. I hope unbelievers who see this will receive Jesus when He calls them. May God continue to comfort and strengthen them. Micah is a beautiful, precious soul who was called to leave earth early. They will miss him so terribly but they also know he is in the presence of our loving perfect Saviour.
