Beautiful people of God! If I don’t testify about the goodness of our amazing father, then what really is my mission on earth?
Our God is a good, good father! The way he loves us, watches over us and prepares the way before us is nothing short of extraordinary. Even when things seem chaotic, rest and know that he has got you.
Have you ever been in a situation where you overthink the way out of a difficult/pressing issue, and momentarily forget that you have a powerful God of possibilities right by your side?
I have definetely been there, and I have a story/testimony to share with you all. My testimony is many years old but this still does not change its validity and magnanimity!
STORY TIME!
So, back in medical school, 300 level to be precise, I was required to re-sit a particular paper (morbid anatomy) or risk retaking the whole year.
As scary as it seemed then, I discontinued the self pity/sulking and took the bull by its horns with my early preparation. Some weeks to the exam however, I fell terribly ill and was admitted on to a ward at the hospital.
Brethren, my illness was too serious for the doctors to care about any exam I was required to take. I wept countless times on the hospital bed, conscious of what was at stake if I didn’t turn up for the exams.
Each time my parents paid a visit to the ward, I made sure to remind them about my exam and how I would never forgive them if I missed sitting for the paper. (This was childish thinking then because it was definitely no fault of theirs)
My parents were literally between a rock and a hard place! On one hand, they yearned for their daughter to get back to her usual state of health, and on the other hand they knew it would break me if I repeated the year because I was unable to sit for one paper.
The doctors on the ward didn’t fail to show their irritation when my parents asked if I could be excused for a day to re sit the paper.
When all hope seemed lost, my Heavenly Father was already working in the background. This is one miracle I would forever remain grateful for. Somehow, my managing consultant had the strong inclination to grant my parents’ wishes despite the medical reality of the situation. He was called out and even mocked by his colleagues, but affirm that iit could only have been God moving.
The way the whole exam scenario played out was unbelievable. He made ways that ordinarily would never have been possible on my behalf! Guys, rules were broken on my account.
I am still in awe till date, and there is no doubt in my heart that he was a 100 percent involved. I sat for this exam from my sick bed and still came out triumphant.
I am using this opportunity to thank the amazing King and master planner up there for his relentless love and continuous mercies over my life. Words from my mouth would never be enough to thank him for all he has pulled me through.
And yeah at some point in my life, I used to wonder why some of those things ever happened in the first place, but now I know better. I know that some of these experiences were to build and mould me into who I am today. I am still in the moulding process, and I know that no matter what comes my way, I would do just fine at the end.
Why?
Because I serve an all powerful God that knows the end even before it begins. He is with us and he is always millions of steps ahead. He has told his children to rest and lay all of our burdens at his feet. This is exactly what I intend do regardless of the situation.
Why don’t you to the same?
