Assuming every one on the bus was saved and belonged to the Lord, He took them to Glory today.

The Bible is clear on the fact that God is the Sovereign of the universe and everything in it is subject to Him.

God has a perfect will and a permissive will, and we’re not going to always understand His permissive will... what He allows to take place in the world.

Remember, God is working on a bigger picture than we are.

A good example of our perspective versus God’s perspective is found in the book of Job.

Read what that godly man suddenly went through... lost his family, lost his possessions, and lost his health... within hours!

Humanly speaking, it was an injustice, unbefitting the God of love. However, in the book of Job, we get to see behind the scenes the decision-making process of God Almighty Himself. And when God later confronts Job over his questioning His sovereignty in life and death matters, the Lord never gives Job a explanation for his suffering. (Most Bible scholars believe the Book of Job was written by Moses on Mount Sinai.)

God may not drive your car for you, but He decides if it will be the means by which He takes you Home.

“Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints.” - Psalm 116:15

Sending up prayer for the families.

There is no good excuse for premature death. Many have tried to justify it, but it’s a personal thing with no formal backing by facts.
