“What you meant for evil, God meant for good, to bring it about that many people should live.” Genesis 50:20
I had given my life to Jesus when I was about 14-15 and I was far from God before 9-11. However, it was through the 9-11 attacks that I really felt God calling me to know Him intimately. Before 9-11, I knew that there was evil in this world, but I didn’t think there was actually someone behind evil. Satan wasn’t real to me.. I had no true knowledge of God’s Word and had only heard that Satan was real. Beforehand, my thoughts of Satan was probably as many others, he was a red devil with a pitchfork that was portrayed on television.
After 9-11, my eyes were opened and I came to realize that there truly had to be a Satan behind this evil, this evil that the Bible speaks of. Not long after 9-11, I eventually re-dedicated my life to the Lord and reading His Word. I am thankful that I heard the Lord calling me to Him through that event and the aftermath.
Romans 8:28-29 became so real to me after the 9-11 attacks. (And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.) ~Tony Bell

I saw many who questioning whether or not God was real after 9-11. I was in a shoe store a couple days afterward and got into a conversation with not only the clerk but two other shoppers about what God. He di use the evil for good .
