“The darker it gets, the brighter our faith can shine.”

A thought by Steven Furtick, (2010-09-21) from his book, Sun Stand Still: What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the Impossible (p. 30). Random House, Inc.. Kindle Edition.

It is really difficult when a child is sick especially when they are a baby.  Right now our daughter, Stef and her husband, Andrew’s little seven old daughter, Harper is very sick.  She is in the hospital going through a lot of testing to find out what is wrong.    

It is in those times when we can do nothing that our faith really comes into play.  I don’t understand how people without a relationship with God can handle those times.  It is difficult when you do have faith.  I mean those who believe totally in their ability to do whatever needs to be done must have real problems when they can’t do anything.

I am so glad that I have a faith in someone who can do everything.  He is someone I totally trust.  He created us so He knows everything about us.  He also gave knowledge and abilities to Doctors and Nurses to deal with the complexities of the human body.  But He also can be trusted to go even beyond their abilities.

Andrew and Stef have done all they know to do, now they are leaving Harper in those who are gifted and trained and in God who oversees it all.  Because they have a relationship with Him they know He hears their prayers and that He is at work in little Harper behalf.  

Thank You, God for listening and working. 

How would you handle this situation?
