Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The "Everywhere God" - The Sequel

A few days ago, I wrote about my "everywhere God" - the God whose "omnipresence" enables Him to be everywhere all the time. Including on that day when three members of my family were in medical crisis at exactly the same hour in three different parts of the country.

I wanted to be in the Southwest with my two-year-old grandson and his parents as they were rushing to the doctor with a little guy in big trouble. I wanted to be with one of my children in another part of the country who needed some extra help during some symptoms that were making life more challenging. I was actually in the Northeast with my four-year-old grandson who was beginning a long and serious surgery none of us had expected. But none of us could go with him inside that operating room.

I wanted to be three places at once. I couldn't be. But my God was. I couldn't do much, even if I was there. He can do anything. And He is there. "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth...He who watches over you will not slumber.He will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore" (Psalm 121 ).

Some people have been asking for an update, especially some who graciously took it on themselves to pray for us. In the Southwest, our "everywhere God" turned around one grandson's crisis and he's back to his laughing, mischievous self. My child is drawing deeply on God's grace as 100% recovery will come in God's timing.

And our four-year-old grandson remains, as he has been since birth, our miracle boy. After a highly invasive, very complex surgery - and some tough post-op days in ICU - he has emerged with early signs that he may be healthier than he's been since he was born. The surgeon thought a potentially life-limiting mechanical replacement would be necessary. Instead, he found, to his surprise, some perfect natural material in our little guy that made possible a repair instead of a replacement.

The surgeon said, "We got very lucky today." I said, "Doctor, people around the world have been praying for you and our grandson today. God answered that prayer in two ways: He gave us the best doctor to do it and He provided what only He could have provided."

"Who is like You - majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?" (Exodus 15:11 ).
