But will it fit?
The young girl had been suffering from chronic pain in her left knee for years. Pediatrician Dr. Martina John diagnosed her with Osgood-Schlatter disease. This condition involves overuse of the tendon attachment of the kneecap to the upper shinbone. She prescribed the appropriate pain medication for her patient and scheduled an appointment with our experts in orthopedic technology.
Master Christian Haupt recalled that he had once seen exactly the right knee brace for this syndrome in the warehouse. No one knew if the size would even fit. He writes: “So we prayed once again. And sure enough, the only brace that would work had the right measurements. God is faithful!”
Most people in Western Europe can’t imagine that God—if He even exists—would concern Himself with such trifles. But Jesus Christ claimed that the Almighty knows the number of hairs on our heads. So we can bring even the small details of our lives to Him. All that matters is faith.
On Tuesday, I presented the vision of Diospi Suyana to Dr. Reinhardt Schink, the general secretary of the German Evangelical Alliance. The conversation that followed focused on the childlike faith that Jesus repeatedly called for in his followers. We can theorize, write clever theological treatises, and be well-versed in church history like model students. In the end, our relationship with God is one of trust. We are convinced that He walks with us on good days and through the crises of our lives. He, who has created more galaxies than we can count, makes Himself very small and offers us His friendship. This truth cannot be understood; rather, it must be experienced in daily life. /KDJ
