PRAISE THE LORD- HE IS GOOD
This morning I found out from a good friend of mine- for whose family we've been praying for over a year- that her dad moved back home yesterday. Her dad went through a difficult season of life about a year and a half ago, leaving their family and not knowing if that was where he was wanted to be anymore. Through many prayers, tears and counseling- God seems to have finally brought her dad to full circle and returned him home to the family that He created this man for.
I was so encouraged to hear this news as it seems as if many couples today are finalizing divorces and quickly giving up on the promises that they made to each other and God. It was so hard to believe that this situation was happening while it was happening and not easy to understand why God would take SO long to answer our prayers for this man to return to his home and family as husband and father; it doesn't matter now though- because God's timing is perfect.
So we may never know why this had to occur in their family's history, but we trust that God's plans will continue to prevail and that they are above and beyond our understanding- yet so much better than we, ourselves, can plan. Praise God for this answered prayer today and let it be a reminder to never cease praying for anything, no matter how long it takes or how hopeless it may seem.
