It is interesting that you say that. When I was 14, I was thrown off my bike a second before I would have been run over by a car; I would have been severely injured or even killed. There was no obstacles and I was paying complete attention to where I was riding. At the time, I knew I was saved by something supernatural. As time past and I fell into a life of sin; never thanked God for the bike accident, I dismissed this as just lucky break.

I think unbelievers would never think twice about such an event; that is until they come to Christ. After one of the times when Jesus fed thousands, the Pharisees told Jesus that they would only believe in him if he performed a heavenly miracle; as if feeding 5,000 was not impressive enough.

Mark 8:12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.”

Yep I felt the same about a freak bicycle accident almost 14 years ago. Broke my collarbone, shoulder blade and rib, but my bicycle helmet spared my noggin. I hated wearing helmets but felt guilty not wearing the required helmet in the Hilly Hundred. Had just buckled the chin strap moments before this freak accident and crushed the helmet b/c my head was the first thing to het the pavement. Always felt like the twinge of guilt was a nudge from the Holy Spirit. No more Hilly Hundred rides for since then either though.

In fact, I’ve had very many close calls with death that I attribute to the miraculous grace of God! No injuries like that one though...
