Yesterday had been disappointing for my son. Last week he had been given some good news in his situation that had been such a burden over the past couple of years.
But now, what he had been told was not going to happen. Not yet anyway. There is still hope that it will. But when?
When he called me to tell me, I myself was disappointed.
But my son brought me back to the fact that God has this situation. He is in control. It is in his time. Not ours.
Throughout the time that this thing has been going on, my son has been under a lot of stress. He hasn't slept well at night, so he stays up and prays a lot and reads his bible.
He has come a long way in his spiritual journey because of it and maybe that is why God has him going through it, at least in part. And for that I am thankful because that is what has kept him from the breaking point that could have been.
Thankfully, God has taken some of the stress from him due to more recent developments. But there had been a promise of sorts that would bring even greater relief.
Sadly, that fell through. But my son is now strong enough to stand up and not fall. To be strong and not weak. To battle for the good and not be defeated by the evil.
And most of all, to understand that GOD IS IN CONTROL and in the end will bring it all to his good. (Romans 8:28)
If you are in a spiritual battle today, this week or will be next month, God has our backs against our enemy the devil to bring all things to our good. We must learn to lean on him and trust him if we truly want to win the battles that come against us.
My son is learning much through this. Because God is teaching him. And he is learning to give me back the hope that I have tried to give him at times, when I get disappointed.
And God? He still teaches me, no matter how old I get.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. God bless
