If we’re friends on Facebook, then you may have
read my status update from earlier this afternoon. I posted about “God News.” All
good news = God news in my heart and mind! Good = God! He IS the “Good News!”
You’ve read the brief status update, but please
let me share again just how MIGHTY and GLORIOUS our God in heaven is! I had
been praying about writing something special for the 100th posting
in Cornerstone of Strength. Boy, did God ever deliver! He is right on time!
Every time.
He’s always been in the “miracle” business, but
it sure is a thrill when He grants one in our present situation. The same God
of Moses…separating the Red Sea. Feeding the 5,000 with 5 loaves of bread and 3
fish. Raising the son of a widow in Nain. Jesus restored sight to Bartimeus.
Jesus healed 2 blind men. He walked on water! The list goes on and on…He REALLY
does work in miraculous ways. Not just then, but now too.
My friend Cathy has been in the hospital for
several days – a couple of weeks actually. The physicians told her and her
husband yesterday that everything had been done, that could be done. They could
not save her leg and foot. She needed immediate, dramatic, and life changing
surgery so that infection would not turn to gangrene or a blood infection. She
was scheduled for amputation of her leg today. The situation was urgent – it needed
to be done within 24 hours.
As God would ordain it, at “the last minute,” a
consultation with a surgeon came to fruition. The surgeon assessed her foot,
her body, and her overall medical condition. The outcome?? NO amputation! He
will complete a bypass on Monday (July 15) and he’s 80% sure that it will be
effective. There’s new hope! New grace! New healing! She’s back in her room
resting comfortably right now – with two complete legs and feet - within the same 24 hours I might add. Amen!
This is truly a miracle. I am wiping a few
tears as I recall the goodness and greatness of God! The Christian understands
that in God’s divine omnipotence, He doesn’t always grant miracles. Yet, HE
certainly is able -- Our God is able, Amen!
Cathy’s husband gave me permission to post a
picture of her leg – note the surgeon’s markings for where her leg was to be
removed. That’s HOW CLOSE she was to surgery. Just minutes away!
And THAT is how BIG our God is! Let's share the Good News!
Look UP my friends!
