A Promise Delivered

"For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us." 2 Corinthians 1:20

I'm so grateful to be able to share with you a story about a promise delivered. Due to security reasons I will not give out names or locations. However, I will do my best to communicate this awesome blessing.

Nine months ago we received word that our missionary friends were expecting their 2nd child. The next day, the expectant mother had to have emergency surgery! Immediately the people of God began praying and God in His faithfulness answered our prayers. Statistically speaking - she should have never made it out of the hospital alive. But with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

Though the next 9 months would prove to be difficult in many ways, this couple remained faithful to God. One reason was that God had spoken to the mother through a dream. This dream came during her surgery. In the dream she saw the Lord holding her child. His words were, "Don't worry - He's with Me." She asked the Lord, "Does that mean that he is with You so that you can protect him or does it mean that I will never get to hold him?" She never received an answer. A few days later we talked about the dream and I felt sure that God was affirming that He was protecting the child and that everything would be O.K. Today, that promise is a reality!

Baby and mother are doing well and we trust that God will continue to watch over this family. We thank God for His faithfulness.

I pray that today's blog will encourage you. Instead of wringing your hands at life's difficulties - choose to hold on to the promises of God. His promises are sure and steadfast. If He has spoken, it will be delivered.

You may not be able to understand His timing but you can always trust His heart.
