Dr. Sean George was driving home from working in a remote clinic in Australia when he began to experience discomfort in his chest. He called his wife, who was also a doctor, and began to describe his symptoms. She advised him to stop at the closest hospital or clinic and seek help. He found a small clinic and told them what was going on. The nurses did an ECG and determined his worst fears. He was having a heart attack at only 39 years of age! The town doctor returned and did the ECG again with the same results. Eleven minutes after the first ECG, Sean’s heart stopped beating. For 70 minutes doctor and nurses did over 4000 chest compressions and shocked him 13 times, but to no avail. After over an hour of effort, they declared him dead.
When his wife Sherry arrived with two of Sean’s colleagues, the doctor told her he was gone and suggested she go in and say goodbye. But instead of saying goodbye, Sherry took her husband by the hand and said, “Lord Jesus, Sean is only 39, I am only 38, we have a 10-year-old boy, I need a miracle.” Immediately after her prayer, though Sean had been clinically dead for an hour and 25 minutes, his heart began beating. He opened his eyes two days later, left the hospital 13 days later, and resumed work two months later. The hospital staff called him the “Miracle Man.” Sean himself reflected on his experience with these words: “Jesus Christ really is the Creator God, the giver of life, the accomplisher of impossible things, and He responds to the humble prayers of His servants.” Amen to that, Sean!
The psalmist reminds us in our passage today to “Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people!” Parting the Red Sea, providing manna and quail, saving from the fire, slaying giants, making blind eyes see, or raising the dead, it’s all the same to God. He’s not just the God of the hard or the complicated or the difficult. He’s the God of the Impossible! What miracle do YOU need today? The God of Moses and David and Daniel and Sean is YOUR God, too. And He is a God of MIRACLES! That’s God’s Word for you today.
