The room temperature was cool but Riley was sweating profusely. There were people in the lobby but he felt all alone in the world. Just two years earlier, his wife gave in to cancer, guess his daughter’s heart could not take it, now he’s about to lose her too to a heart disease!
He peeped at her through the sealed glass window as she laid unconscious. Riley’s heart sang and hot tears trickled down his face. Yet, a voice in his head kept repeating that bible verse to him saying: “He will keep him in perfect peace whose heart is stayed upon Thee.”
He looked up to the ceiling again and said to God:
“Dear father, Everything you do is good and you are just. I know you love Sandy but can you still keep her here with me?” He broke down to his knees and wept bitterly “I can’t lose her too.”
In a moment of spasm, he got up determined to find the money and get his daughter out of her state, he drove down to his office. It was late in the night so there was no one around.
“I can do this and get away with it, and if I perish, I perish,” he said as he brought out the bunch of keys and opened the safe deposit box.
Suddenly light filled the room, it was so bright and Riley panicked thinking he has been busted. He lifted up his face and saw a man clad in white and from him radiated the light.
“Riley what are you doing?” He asked calmly
“I’m trying to safe my daughter,” Riley answered still trembling.
“And you think if you take this money with you, you’ll save her?”
“Well…” He stuttered, “I… I have to weigh my options… I have a better chance at this with financial support, I can’t afford to lay all my eggs in one basket.”
The man moved closer and touched Riley’s shoulder, “Riley not a single strand of your hair falls that the father does not know about, there are no options Riley, its just one egg but it’s in God’s basket.”
The man gave Riley a reassuring smile and walked out the door, the light dimmed and Riley was all alone once more. He locked up the safe, the office and drove back to the hospital with no idea of how he will get the money.
As he approached the entrance, one of the nurses ran up to him she seemed excited but was tampered with a feeling of urgency.
“Mr Riley; Mr Riley,” she spoke hastily, “its your daughter, she’s asking to see you. She got out of comma and said she’s feeling alright… That’s aside the slight headache. The doctors are attending to her now… Its a miracle Mr Riley!”
The ward is just on the second floor but it felt like Riley’s longest run. He busted into the room amidst doctors and their assistants, held his daughter and wept for joy.

“Those that trust in the Lord are like mount Zion, they shall not be moved” those are the words of king David to us because he has trusted HIM and wasn’t proved wrong. The same was the conviction of Jehoshaphat that “those that trust in the Lord their GOD, they shall be establish ” ( Deu 20:20). It is for us to lay our worries at HIS feet and trust HIM with a very great faith, that is when you see GOD work because HE alone takes all the glory… If we can walk by faith and not by sight, we will always connect with GOD for HE said HE will not forsake us, that HE is with us and for us to be convinced HE came in flesh and with the name IMMANUEL that we may know that HE is and always with us, even in our state of adversity…
