Mom Heart Moments #220

Fear not, for you will not be put to shame; and do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced.

GOD BROUGHT ME TO THE END of myself by giving me interesting situations: three children who were clinically asthmatic, various mental health issues, many moves, church splits, fire and flood in our home, car accidents, etc. There was no way I could do it all or be perfect!

Instead, God wanted me to walk by faith in Him. Every day I learned to give to Him my fish and loaves: “Lord, I know I am not perfect. I cannot provide all my children need. But I am giving you my best, my heart. Here’s what I have; please make it enough.” God, our devoted and ever-present Father, wants us to come to Him, to ask Him to work, to ask His grace to fill our homes, to ask Him who has access to the brains of our children to draw them to Himself.

And so, miracles happen when God is the One we depend on to work. We acknowledge we are not adequate, but He is. We release our problems and sadness, our limitations and fears into His hands, leave them there, and move to an attitude of worship. We do what He leads us to do and live within our own limitations every day. Whatever we do not get done, we put back into His file and know we can have a go again tomorrow. He is the source of supernatural life, and He wants us to walk this parenting path as we walk all the other paths of our life: by faith.

He is the ultimate source and answer and strength.

Take some time today to put your own concerns into the file drawer of heaven. Trust God to work.
