Bible is Found in the Middle of A Tornado’s Devastation & the Page It’s Open to is Eerily Fitting

A tornado which ripped through Van, Texas, killed residents David and Brenda Tapley, and demolished their home.
But as neighbors and family members sorrowfully combed through the wreckage, they found a glimmer of hope.
There, amid the rubble, was the couple’s Bible.
 

The Bible was open to James 1: 2-8 which reads:
“My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.”
In a time of deep despair, the discovery of the Bible — and the insightful passage to which it was open — reaffirmed the family’s faith.
