I have recently had the privilege of seeing a miracle. A genuine, only-God, miracle. Here's what happened. Friends of mine were traveling from MN to WA to see their family when they ended up in a severe rollover. Three of the seven in the vehicle had to be life-flighted to hospitals. The injuries were life-threatening, but they all survived (miracle). Not only that, but the spinal injury to one individual was so severe that it usually results in paralysis, but today (two weeks after the crash) she is walking (miracle). There have been other miracles: swelling going down around the spinal cord in another individual, no brain injury in a third individual with head trauma, and no major injuries in a fourth who had tire tracks on her arm. It is all by the hand of the Lord.
In addition to that, those who were not in the crash have been deeply affected. Faith has been built up, hearts have turned to the Lord, relationships have been restored, and lives have been changed. Other families in the ICU waiting room have experienced the love of God and presence of the Holy Spirit through this family. Praise the Lord that what was meant for evil, God will turn to good.
This incident brought me to my knees in prayer in a deeper way as well. I am so encouraged by the many miraculous answers to prayers. Seeing the body of Messiah coming together is so powerful. I continue to pray for wholeness and healing. May the Lord bring about restoration to this family, physically and emotionally, for His glory. I am in awe.
