Understanding God’s plan

What George Zimmerman told Sean Hannity closely matches
what he told police the day after he shot Trayvon Martin.
He doesn’t seem to be a racist; he seems like a nice guy.

What intrigued me was this:

“I feel that it was all God’s plan, and for me to
second guess it,” said Zimmerman.

All God’s plan. And I wondered, what did he mean by
that?

Well, listen to how he describes the appearance of the
gun. He says Martin was straddling him and pounding his
head into the ground. He tries to shimmy away and his
jacket rides up, revealing his holster.

“I realized that it wasn’t my gun, it wasn’t his gun,
it was the gun,” said Zimmerman.

“It wasn’t my gun, it wasn’t his gun, it was the gun.”
Under no one’s control as if it just appeared like a
divine experiment?

“He said, ‘You’re going to die tonight’ and took one
hand off of my mouth and I felt it going down my chest
towards my belt, my holster,” said Zimmerman.

And that’s when everything changed because now the
fight was no longer Martin vs. Zimmerman. It was two men
fighting for a gun.

Until that moment, it had been a fist fight.
Zimmerman was getting pummeled, but he was successfully
defending himself. He admits the police arrived within 30
seconds, which means he probably wasn’t in danger of dying
until that uncontrolled gun appeared.

So what about God? I think God intended that fights get
settled with fists, since hands are the weapons we’re born
with.

But putting a gun in that hand is a choice that we
make.

Maybe God’s plan was to use this case to remind us of
that.
