A Bible found Untouched Amid the tornado wreckage in Mississippi
Amid the tornado wreckage in southern US, Mississippi few weekends ago, a Bible was reportedly found untouched and opened on the campus pulpit with the page from Psalm 46 which read ; “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.“
The tornado which roared through the Hattiesburg area, ripped off roofs and tossed trees into the roadways across the region.
According to CNN; When staffers combed the campus, sifting through the damage, they said they happened upon a stunning scene: An open Bible on the pulpit of the campus church, undisturbed by the surrounding debris.
The open page from Psalm 46, the staffers said, read: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Rick Wilemon, an adjunct art instructor at the private Christian college, snapped some photos of the Bible as it was found in the otherwise-damaged Bass Chapel after the EF-3 tornado hit Hattiesburg.
“No building was left untouched,” Wilemon told CNN. “So many appear to be total losses.”
Wilemon said the Bible was a fixture in the chapel. And the condition it was found in has bolstered the spirits of the campus — and beyond.
“It is remarkable that something so inspiring to our community is also inspiring to the nation,” Wilemon said.
