There are moments where I am
absolutely amazed by God. Amazed by His timing, His plan that is unfolding, and His love. Last night was one of those nights. To recreate it would be impossible. The small group that I lead is made up of some of the most genuine Godly women I know. I have always known that this particular group was different. Though one has moved and we miss her terribly, we have managed to remain closer than I thought possible. After inviting a few new girls, the joy in my heart was palpable. I can't explain it. I knew that God had placed these new women in my life for a reason, and I was ridiculously excited to get to know them.
It didn't take Him long to reveal it.
They all had issues they were working through in their lives. Health concerns, work, babies, and last night we found out cancer.
2 weeks ago, we didn't know her. 2 weeks ago, she wasn't sure if she wanted to meet us. 2 weeks ago, she was rocking her 8 month old son to sleep praying she would beat this horrid disease.
2 weeks ago, she came to group and knew God was calling to her. 2 weeks ago, she realized this was where she was meant to be. 2 weeks ago, she found sisters in Christ to pray with and help support her through this season.
Lord, You are the great I Am, and Your name is written as the author of all there is. You are the only true God and You are faithful to all You have made and all You have promised.
I lift up these women Lord, before Your great throne of grace and present their needs before You. I speak to them now as a servant of the Most High God and say "God is faithful, God is faithful, God is faithful." Lord I ask that You would ring their ears with that phrase today.
God is faithful. Let it be a wall of truth that towers above the lies that stalk their peace.
Lord, let Your strength and protection be tangible to them today, and cause their hearts to rest.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
