Our father died relatively young, from a heart attack at age sixty-two. Heart trouble is in our genetics. As Donna says, if Linda hadn't needed the knee replacement, she wouldn't have gotten this current EKG that showed a possibly dangerous abnormality, so this is an inconvenient miracle.
So often we have these inconvenient medical miracles in our lives when a routine medical test reveals an unexpected and potentially dangerous health issue. Or testing for one medical condition leads to discovery of another medical condition. We never like what's discovered, but once we know about it, we can take steps to handle it. God has once again used His circuitous and hidden ways to make a way for us to find physical healing, or to mentally and spiritually prepare for God's Final healing - Death and Eternity. Because God will make a way when there seems to be no way.
I think of my daughter Mary Beth, who never did breast examinations until this past May when she suddenly felt a strong impulse to examine herself - and found a tumor that a mammogram she'd had six months earlier hadn't discovered. She discovered cancer early enough that she has a very good prognosis. How often we hear of people feeling impelled to say or do something without knowing why - and later discovering the vital reason for their actions. That is God's wisdom speaking to us, making a way for us that otherwise would not have opened before us.
Once when the prophet Elijah sought out the Lord for guidance, the Lord told him to leave the cave he was hiding in, to go outside, and stand on the mountain before the Lord, because the Lord would be passing by. A strong and heavy wind came, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake - but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake, there was fire - but the Lord was not in the fire. "After the fire, there was a tiny, whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak..." (1 Kings 20: 9-13.)
So often in our lives, we miss God's Presence because we are not watchful, are not aware that "the Lord is passing by." We want a God Who will save us in momentous, showy actions like parting the Red Sea. But most of the time God acts quietly or suggests gently in tiny whispering sounds, and unless we are paying close attention we don't realize He's always at work, prompting us, asking for entrance to our hearts.
If we continually tell God that we trust Him and trust that He's personally interested in our lives, we are opening our hearts to Him, surrendering our wills, so He can act for us and we can hear what He asks us to do to help ourselves. He always answers when we call. We just have to be prepared that the miracles He offers are sometimes inconvenient!
