Psalms 121:1-4 NIV
I lift up my eyes to the mountains ---- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip --- He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber no sleep.
On occasion, we feel frustrated by the circumstances we find ourselves in. I remember being in a hospital. I had just lost a baby and had started a very difficult turn in my life. I arrived home and sat down on our recliner and I started to sing a hymn (a very old song) that says:
Everything is possible if you can believe
Faith moves the hand of God in His word
Everything is possible if you can believe
And I began to tell God, I belive everything is possible. It doesn't matter if there is pain, it doesn't matter if the circumstance is difficult. I'm going to hold onto Your hand God, and acknowledge that You are where my help comes from. And at that moment I began to feel His peace. Many months passed and I decided to go back to the doctor's office. I told the doctor, "My husband and I are ready to start trying again." The doctor responded and said, "No, you can't. If you become pregnant again, there is a 99.9% possibility that you will not make it through the semesters and will die if you give birth." Three months pass since the doctors warning. I became pregnant and gave birth a a beautiful daughter whom we named Gracie Joy. Grace from joy. I lost my baby on May 4th and Gracie was born on May 4th of that next year.
Everything is possible if you believe. Faith moves the hand of God in His living word. When your eyes are lifted and say, "Lord, You are my help." So if you are going through some difficulties, maybe even a severe medical diagnosis, let me remind you that God is your help, He is your keeper, He is who guards you in every circumstance. Grab ahold of His hand and He will guard your coming and your going.
God bless you,
Pastor Vicky
