A resourceful doctor in rural Australia saved a boy’s life with a handyman’s power drill.  Hailed as a hero when the story broke globally years ago, he reacted modestly. “It was not a personal achievement,” he said. “It is just a part of the job, and I had a very good team of people helping me.”

Dr. Rob Carson diagnosed a 12-year-old boy brought to a small hospital’s emergency room with a soon-to-be-fatal brain bleed. Nicholas Rossi had been riding his bike and took a fall. His mother, a nurse, realized the bump on his head could be serious and insisted on taking him to the hospital. By the time they arrived, Nicholas was already slipping in and out of consciousness.

Dr. Carson made the correct call on what was happening and knew he had a very short time to take decisive action. He made two decisions.  First, he sent to the maintenance room for a drill, because the rural hospital didn’t have sophisticated neurosurgical tools. Second, he called a neurosurgeon in Melbourne to ask help with his dilemma.

With an ordinary household drill in hand, he followed the specialist’s guidance through a procedure that worked flawlessly. “General practitioners in country towns do procedures all the time,” said Dr. Carson. But a father’s reaction to that modest take on what happened was very different. “He saved our son’s life!” declared Michael Rossi.

People took what was at hand and put it into God’s hands!

Some of us would do well to follow the good doctor’s example and learn to be a bit more clever, gutsy, and inventive in our lives. Are you a sales person who sits for long periods waiting to see clients? Keep a Bible or a Christian book with you to read instead of old magazines. Are you a commuter? Listen to a Christian podcast as an alternative.

Has the tough economy challenged your company’s customary client base?  Has illness altered the way your family functions? Has the community around your church changed radically over the past few years? Every challenge is a disguised opportunity for creative adaptation and productive learning.

Gideon used clay jars and trumpets to rout an army. Samson used the jawbone from a donkey’s carcass to defeat his enemies. Jesus used a little boy’s sack lunch of bread and dried fish to feed thousands. In these biblical episodes, people took was at hand and put it into God’s hands — with amazing outcomes.

Creativity often comes not from seeing the light but from feeling the heat. Maybe it will be that way with the challenge you are facing today. Your task is not to guarantee outcomes with certainty but to address problems with courage.

Good morning.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayer

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
