My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I must remember that all is Father-filtered. Not a quaint, trite saying but truely nothing reaches us but does not come through His providence and precious sovereignty. May the joy of His healing be on our minds and fill our hearts especially in the tough times brother.
“ a land without tears” makes me want to cry when I think of the suffering in this world. Our first child Jacob died in my wife’s womb, she was eight months pregnant. It was devastating. But we bumped along and limped along and eventually the blue skies were pleasant again. Life is hard and death is brutal. Thank God through Jesus Christ our Messiah He took that sting away. Some days I can’t wait. But we are still here now, to glorify God in these mortal bodies. Press on, press in, may His Kingdom come on Earth in your little hamlet and home.
Thank you Michael for writing this. Indeed events like this are stakes in the ground about which all of life pivot.
You are also right to admonish us to lay firm foundations before suffering strikes because it’s hard to correct weak theology in the midst of pain.
Understanding the sovereignty of God over every detail of life is the greatest comfort in those times but it’s best to be settled there before rather than try to make sense of things during the trial.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my losses have been my greatest blessings.
I’m so sorry y’all went through that (and are still feeling its effects). I thank you for sharing it, though, as a very powerful testimony and exhortation. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing!
Condolences Micheal.🙏🏿🙏🏿
