Many of you are aware that the last few weeks have been difficult for our family. Our 15-month daughter was hospitalized for two weeks with several health issues and we are continuing to care for her with extra measures at home.
After many tears, sleepless nights, and hospital tests without many answers right away you start to lose heart, doubt, and even seem to lose faith at times. Then, when you reach a point of calm, you begin to believe the lies that God is disappointed in you for losing faith and for questioning Him and His sovereign ways. Then He brings this amazing thought to mind: although we are not always faithful, He is.
No matter what we think or feel, God is continually waiting with outstretched arms to hold us and carry us through trial, even when we ask, “why.” Oh, He is good, and He is taking care of us. We hold on to this promise during this time, will you, when you go through trial?
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” Lamentations 3:22-24
