Do you have enough faith to believe what God said? - Daily Bible Reflections June 20,2014

FAITHFUL AND TRUE   The Lord swore to David a sure oath from which he will not turn back… – Psalm 132:11   “Thessa, we will praise the Lord because we know that He will give us the child that we have been praying for,” I told my wife as we both cried.        We were praying for a baby amidst the negative reports of doctors. She had just turned 40. To make things worse, she had endometriosis, a retroverted uterus, and polycystic ovaries. Oh yes, there were times we lost hope. There were nights we cried ourselves to sleep. There were moments we asked God why. In the middle of all these challenges, we clung to His promise that we would one day have a child. God delivered.        Last April, our son Ziki celebrated his third birthday. God answered our prayers just two years after we got married. Thessa had a wonderful pregnancy, no aversion to any kind of food, no morning sickness, no complications.        God will never turn His back on His promises to you. He will do what He said He will. It’s not a matter of if, it’s just a matter of when. Keep believing. He will never let you down.        God said it. I believe it. That settles it.

Let me not be moved by what I feel or hear or see but by what I believe in. In Jesus’ name. Amen.   St. Paulinus of Nola, pray for us.
