Copied from one of the online news paper.... Israel Miracle! Gaza Strip Hamas Complains “Their God Changes Path of our Rockets in Midair” As Israel continues to deal with the threat of terrorist rockets flying through its skies, a recent newspaper headline trumpeted the possibility of supernatural protection. “Their God changes the path of our rockets in mid-air, said a terrorist,” was the headline in the July 18 edition of the Jewish Telegraph. It was a partial quote from Barbara Ordman, who lives in Ma’ale Adumim on the West Bank. Her exact quotation was: “As one of the terrorists from Gaza was reported to say when asked why they couldn’t aim their rockets more effectively: “We do aim them, but their God changes their path in mid-air.” Headlines in Israel claim miracles are protecting the Jews during the Gaza Strip ground war, with one headline proclaiming that Hamas terrorists are complaining about God changing the direction of rockets in mid-air. But the Talmud Yerushalmi tells us that in no way are we to depend on miracles. It argues that we must not desist from our obligations and must not wait for miraculous intervention from the Supernatural. How perfectly relevant are both of these views today. We witness hourly miracles. As one of the terrorists from Gaza was reported to say when asked why they couldn’t aim their rockets more effectively: “We do aim them, but their God changes their path in mid-air.” Amen! And when our God is not busy doing that, He is ensuring that the high-tech brain power of our “start-up nation” is working overtime to produce yet another Iron Dome battery to help protect our cities and us. So how are we all coping? Pretty well. Are we complacent in the light of all this protection? No, I don’t think so. I didn’t hear the siren when it went off while I was shopping in the local mall. I couldn’t understand why the shop assistant was throwing me out of the shop and closing the doors. I presumed it was an early closing day! Then I saw all the other shoppers moving quickly towards an enclosed space. Got it! So I went along too. No panic. We all stood in the safety room for a few minutes, busy texting because the phone signals don’t penetrate the thick walls.
