Amen.
Praise God Almighty, praise Him indeed
99% chance the snake fell out of the hawk’s clutches and the hawk was merely retrieving its prey. Its not a miracle just a freakish incident.
Hawks love a snake... probably accidentally dropped it and went down to retrieve it.
I had a hawk tangled in some of that bird netting out back and I was going to try to get him out of it but he broke out himself and when I went over to where he was he was chewing on this snake that was caught on in The netting as well.
Well I worked the dead snake out of the netting and I took it over to this ditch and the hawk was watching me the entire time from a low branch on a beech tree.
I went back towards the house to do something I came back and there was the hawk in the ditch finishing off that snake he had a good meal.
Needless to say I no longer use that netting anymore because I lost two black snakes in it in one year, to be honest I didn’t put the netting up to begin. My ex put it up to keep the deer off of the small bushes that she had planted.
The back story on the hawk was there was a rehabilitator up the street at one time and she had nursed this Hawk back to health and the hawk stayed in the neighborhood. It’s a red shoulder hawk.
He’s not afraid of people, he sort of hangs around and I’ve approached him on several occasions he’s very comfortable in the neighborhood.
Everybody knows the backstory and the lady who did rehabilitate him has since moved but the hawk is kind of like our neighborhood hawk, so that’s probably why he sat there on that branch and watched me take the snake away from the entangling netting and place it in a ditch where he could get back to it.
It’s not a miracle just a freakish incident.
My Guardian Angel Gabriel (O’Malley, named after the other one) gets a good laugh when i say that out loud.
Coincidence is just when God doesn’t always take credit.
Make it a Wonderful Day.
I like how the headlines says, “attacked by a snake that fell from the sky.” Yeah, snakes (who don’t have wings and aren’t lighter than air) just fall out of the sky... Happens all the time...
Not to be ungrateful, but she should pray that Jesus keeps hawks from dropping snakes on her in the first place!
“””It sounds like the snake saw the hawk and was trying to escape. It landed on her as a collateral effect of that.”””
Flying snakes???? Stop the world I want to get off.
No the snake was in a tree. It saw the hawk and tried to get to the ground. So jumping or falling not flying.
“Coincidence is just when God doesn’t always take credit.”
My belief is: Coincidence is just when God does not intervene. We are not robots for God, otherwise God would not have given humans free choice. Since we have free choice we can make our own good and bad experience, including the experience to accept, or not accept Christ as personal savior.
God existing out of time simultaneously, from alpha to omega, does mean God knows the end, but that means one thing for God and another for humans. It means God KNOWS the end, but that end includes how things turn out and don’t turn out by our exercise of free will. Foreknowledge of God is not predestination for us. We have to choose to make our way to God, it is not chosen for us.
Actually, i agree with you.
It just doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker 👍
