It ain’t over till God says it’s over…

As I sat in the hospital’s waiting room, a million and one thoughts ran through my mind. Would he make it? What would I do without him? How would mom survive? Despite my racing mind, I had to maintain a strong demeanor in order to keep the family together, mainly my mom. Though I am the youngest of my father’s children, I am my mother’s only child and because of this she heavily relies upon me to keep things in perspective. Sounds great right? Well, the downside is I often bottle up my emotions to keep her calm.

I paced up and down the hospital waiting room and even made frequent trips to the Cardiovascular center. Why is it taking so long? I just couldn’t take it! The thought of losing my dad now was too much to handle and I found myself tearing. I wanted my dad back now. I prayed and prayed and prayed. 4 hours later, Dad was rolled out of the operating room. I was happy. Then, I was sad again. He wasn’t alert. He wasn’t responding. Oh no! What’s going on? GOD NO! The doctors came in and spoke to him, but he didn’t answer. My sister called out to him, no answer.

Help! God!!!!!!

Then, we tried again and he replied. Sigh! Thank you Lord! He was alert.

I couldn’t help but thank God for being in that room. After weeks of him blacking out, the doctors were finally able to find out what was root cause. You see dad’s heart was having a hard time pumping the blood throughout his body and the dangerously low heart rate caused him to black-out. If we didn’t insist that something was gravely wrong and the doctors didn’t take us seriously, my dad wouldn’t be alive today. God intervened on my dad’s behalf and I can’t help but to praise him. There is truly no other God like our God.

The enemy tried his best to take my father out and God came in and showed himself strong. He showed up in the house, in the ambulance, in the operating room, etc. Today, 2 weeks later, my dad is walking around the house, joking around and ALIVE. Our God is a mighty, awesome, unbelievably GREAT GOD. I don’t know what it is that you may be going through or what the doctors have said to you. However, God has come by today to remind you that

HE IS STILL GOD and IT AIN’T OVER TILL GOD SAYS IT IS OVER.

No matter how bleak things may appear to be, God is still working them out for you.

Be strong in the Lord and Keep the faith. He will work it out for you no matter what the situation, no matter what the predictions may be. God is still God and he will show himself strong.

Memory Text:

Prayer Prompt:
Lord, thank you for your amazing hand in my life. Help me to be courageous and remind me that you alone have the final say in all things. Teach me to walk in faith and to turn my situations over to you…
