it does still happen: Miracles!

I heard about a story about a college professor who took a group of students to china for a field trip. Several days into the journey the professor experienced incredible stomach pain. He was hurting so badly, the professor asked a friend to call an ambulance. He was rushed to a local clinic.

They were way back in a small town with no big hospitals. The medical staffer in charge noticed that the professors’ appendix had ruptured. Poison was spreading throughout his body, but there were no surgeons around. There was little that could be done for the professor, his friend was told.

“I can give him some pain medication, maybe some sleeping pills, but my advice is that he should make peace with his family,” the clinic staffer told him.

The professor went into convulsion and passed in and out of consciousness.

Back at home in the states, the professor’s father, who is a pastor, began to feel an incredible burden for his son during a service at his church. The pastor tried to ignore the feeling but it just wouldn’t go away. Finally, he stopped the service and he said to the congregation, “we must pray for my son. Something is wrong.”

They dropped to their knees and prayed.

Back in china at the clinic it was two o’ clock in the morning when one of the country’s most well known surgeons walked in-the same surgeon who travels with the U.S president when he visits China. The clinic staff was amazed to see him.

“I’m here to take care of the American,” the surgeon said

The Chinese surgeon saved the life of the professor with an operation.

The next day the surgeon said to the recovering professor: “who were those two men that you sent into my office yesterday?”

That’s odd, because two men came in dressed in nice suits. They looked like they were government officials,” the surgeon said. “And they said you were a very important person and I needed to be here in the middle of the night to operate you.”

God knows how to make it all work out. Even seven thousand miles away God had people praying. That’s why you can live life in peace. God is in complete control. He knows the end from the beginning. God knows what you will need a week from now, a month from now, even ten years from now. And the good news is He’s already taking care of you.
