My mom was just moved to the 9th floor ICU of UCSF. They want to keep her on consistent dialysis because what they have been doing before just isn’t working.
We keep praying – keep trusting. I am continually reminded that faith is being sure of what we hope for and confident of what we do not see. We see the pain; God sees the glory.
My wisdom bank has run out at the moment. God has given me an abundance of peace, and I seem to be gliding on that right now.
Today someone asked me how my mom was doing, and as I was answering, he said, “You are probably sick of people asking.” And I thought, “Not at all; it means that people still care, and that they are still praying.” Thankfully we have friends and family who are ceaseless in their prayer. As we learn to come before the throne of God moment by moment, I am reminded of the woman who begs and pleads with Jesus to heal her daughter:
“And He answered and said, ‘It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’
But she said, ‘Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.’
Then Jesus said to her, ‘O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter was healed at once.”
(Matthew 15:26-28)
He is the God who spoke the world into existence and the God who laid the foundation of the earth. He was there when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy. He is the God who commands the morning, and causes the dawn to know its place.
He is mighty. We trust Him and believe that, even today, He can perform mighty miracles.
I don’t know what the future holds, but we wait… remembering that it’s a day-to-day journey… walking in faith and obedience… His love will never leave…
