Growing in God

A missionarys monthly allowance failed to reach her. For quite a while all she had to eat was oats. To make matters worse, she was sick. Where was God? When she later returned to her home country she mentioned this to a doctor, who happened to also know about the serious stomach condition she had had at that time. The doctor informed her that not only was oats the ideal diet for such a condition; a normal diet could have killed her. Clearly, the Lord had amazingly protected her, but why did he use such a convoluted means?

I once heard of an astounding miracle that caused a sick person to receive medical attention. For the Lord to have healed supernaturally almost would have been less miraculous. Why he chose western medicine, I have no idea, but, like the missionary forced to eat oats, it is typical of God, in that the Almighty refused to act in a way that our puny minds find predictable. Our exciting Lord is forever taking us by surprise. Never limit him. He is just as capable of using western medicine, as he is of using traditional medicines, as he is of bypassing human intermediaries.
