"I will...show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV
Dr. Ernest Sachs wanted to make a difference in the world. And he did. Years ago most brain tumors were fatal. Sachs heard a surgeon predict that someday a cure would be discovered that could save all those lives, and he determined to be that surgeon. At the time, the leading expert on the anatomy of the brain was Sir Victor Horsely. Sachs received permission to study under him but felt he should prepare for the experience by studying for six months under some of the most able physicians in Germany. Then he went to England, where for two years he assisted Dr. Horsely in line and intricate experiments on dozens of monkeys. When Sachs returned to America, he was ridiculed by the medical establishment for requesting the opportunity to treat brain tumors. For years he fought obstacles and discouragement, driven by a desire to succeed in his quest. And succeed he did! Today, largely thanks to Dr. Sachs, the majority of brain tumors can be cured. And his book Diagnosis and Treatment of Brain Tumors is considered the standard authority on the subject. Just because something isn't presently done doesn't mean it can't be done. And maybe you are the one to do it! And as a redeemed child of God, think of the advantage you have: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding" (Pr 2:6 NKJV). Use your faith, and believe God for great things.
