I'm going to be quite honest this week was tough in our house. I have been tested on where my hope lies and whom I'm trusting in. Now I would love to say "Well of course.. I am child of the King! I trust in Him! " and though I do sometimes my actions don't speak that. I have to repent and ask the Lord to truly help me trust in Him and not rely on what I can do! I think as a Mom my immediate response to everything is make it better and to fix it! But being faced with something that my hands can do nothing about and my words cannot reason away...it hurts my heart deeply. I don't know why it takes a moment like this for me to get it... BUT it is in these moments that because I AM His child ,when I lift my eyes and heart to Him... He NEVER fails to lift me to my feet and speak His truth to my heart. So what can my hands do? And my words? Raise them and pray to my heavenly father who knows exactly what we need. We see him at work and as we wait for our miracle.... I am so truly thankful and overwhelmed as I see my boys hearts grow closer to Christ. And to see our family strengthened through this time in the truth and hope we have in Christ I am forever grateful. He is working things out for our good and His glory. He is never shocked or burdened at what we bring to the foot of the cross. There is so much comfort in knowing when we come to Him, He is there to meet us....
I don't know what your week looked like or what you might be facing.... I pray that you may find encouragement from this scripture....
Psalm 18:28-30 ~ For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. For by you I can run against a troop and leap over a wall. As for God His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.
