God's Promises

This week has been an unspeakably difficult one for our family. My cousin Lee and her husband Jason lost their 23 year old son after 8 days of being diagnosed with a rare form of acute leukemia. We are walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death today. In a few minutes i will leave and join them for church- at their church.

They lost their son but they haven't lost their faith. Someone said this week faith is not faith until it has been tested, if that is true then they and their son Brian are passing the test.

I would love to take away their pain but I can't. I'm not God. I am simply a servant of His. He will help them in the days ahead. He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. The LORD is faithful to all His Promises. So while we grieve deeply today, our faith still holds. Our God reigns. He is in control. We rest in His everlasting arms.
