My son turns 19 years old today. I called him at 2am this morning
to wish him a happy birthday and to tell him again that I love him. After we
hung up, I closed my eyes and prayed for him.
God and I have parented RKR all these years. It was just appropriate
to share this moment with Him – His Heavenly Father. Even now, as I think on all the “yesterdays”
we have passed through my heart is overwhelmed with gratitude. God has been good to us, His mercy has been
plentiful and His grace so undeserving.
I can trust my son to His care; He has proven Himself faithful to us. Many are the provisions of my God, exceeding
all my needs with a limitless supply.
As I write and remember these things, my faith grows. I feel encouraged and confident in the
absolute care of God. I am not doing
something new, David did the same thing.
We only need to read through the Psalms to see the evidence. He
remembered the God of yesterday, and was encouraged that He is still the same
God of his today. He reminded himself of
God’s faithfulness and mighty acts and was able to stand in the face of his enemies,
heart break and many trials.
May I encourage you to do the same?
Might I nudge you to sit and reflect on the works of God in your life,
your child’s life, family, friend or foe’s life? Will you remember the past so that you may
walk in the present with confidence? David
did it. I did it. Now You do it. Water your faith, and watch it grow.
