I have suffered otitis media for 66 years from the age of 8. One day in my childhood, I felt water entering into the right ear in shampooing. Since then, I started itching in it, and pus and fluid oozed out. In 1950s Korea was faced with war and economic difficulty and I could never dare go to hospital while living in a countryside. ...
You Are Well in the Midst of this Big Traffic Accident of Running into a 22-ton Dump Truck!
I am doing interior designs related to the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation. I have to work day and night because many branches of the NACF are located all over the country. But I was so happy for those many works and did not find any difficulty in it. On April 28, 2009, early morning I was driving a car toward Yeong-am County of Jeonnam Province along with a carpenter who was scheduled to help me there. Around 9 AM, we arrived at the entrance of the county and I was trying to turn to the left at the three-way intersection. At that moment my car collided head-on with a 22-ton dump truck. I heard a bumped sound but did not feel any shock. The carpenter later told me he had felt two big shocks. I instantly felt God had protected me in the space of the shepherd, and thanked Him. After that we got out of the crushed car, and found what had happened. The scene was unbelievably terrible. My car was seriously destroyed like crumpled paper and thrown aside at a corner of the road. The dump truck was so big and strong but was a little crushed because it was a really big accident. The dump truck driver came to me and said, "How could this happen? How could you be well in this big accident?" I answered, "My God protected me. I thank Him." The driver looked a little comforted after seeing us safe. A few people who gathered at the accident site really thought that the car driver had been crushed to death. Some while later the police and a staff of the automobile insurance company arrived. They looked at us for some time as through they couldn't believe the truth. It was because the car was completely destroyed but the driver and a passenger were not hurt at all. The police, however, forced us to go to hospital, saying, "Now you look normal, but you have to receive the medical checkup because you don't know what has really happened to you." We were X-rayed but the result was that we were normal. Two days later the carpenter felt a little pain and received the reevaluation, and it showed his ribs had become crooked. But he said he had also been protected that much because of me, a believer in God. Through this accident, I came to realize the God of love protects us even when we are trying our best to keep and obey His commands—especially, keeping the Sabbath day and giving tithes to Him. Also, I felt Senior Pastor Dr. Jaerock Lee is always praying for the church members to be protected from various accidents. And I thoroughly repented that I had heard the Word of God but at working places I sometimes revealed hot-temper and reluctantly drank a bit of liquor, and determined to lead a proper Christian life.
