Lady Antebellum Bus Fire Spares Singer Hillary Scott's Bible

Lady Antebellum's tour bus caught fire Thursday morning, and singer Hillary Scott reported online that many of the country band members' personal belongings were destroyed with the exception of her Bible.

Scott posted a photo of the bus on Facebook, telling followers, “Hey guys, we had a crazy morning on the way to Dallas today. Our bus caught fire and we had to evacuate very quickly. It was me, my husband, our tour manager, and driver. Thanking God for our safety and the safety of all of those who helped put this fire out and keep us safe.” 



Reba McEntire echoed the sentiment, writing on Facebook, “Thank God you guys are okay.”

About two hours later, Scott posted an additional picture to Instagram, this one of her open Bible.  

 

I just got this picture from the scene of the fire and HAD to share this. Today, when our bus caught on fire we had quite a few personal belongings in the back (where I was asleep before evacuating the bus) one of them being my Bible. I kid you not, EVERYTHING in the back lounge was destroyed from the flames, except my Bible. The outside cover was burned and messed up but NOT ONE PAGE was missing. Yall, God's Word will always stand. He is FOR YOU, WILL PROTECT YOU, AND HIS LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER FADE. My faith is forever deepened because of today. I hope this story deepens yours.

Scott's post struck a chord with many social media users.

"Thank you for sharing this, because I needed to see/read a story like this," one person commented on Instagram. "I'm going thru (sic) some rough times, financial issues but I know that God will prevail. Thank God everyone was safe on your bus, take care & God bless."

"My husband is a fireman," someone else shared. "I love love the stories of Bibles not burned!! God Bless you and keep you and keep telling your story!!"
