A whole week has passed and I haven't written a single thing. What a week! Our time has been consumed helping my husband's brother. The number of his days is coming to a close. We take comfort in knowing he is ready, and in also knowing we have done everything we could to help him. Thank-you again Father for allowing us this opportunity.
Acts 1:5 - "I do this work for him..."
Acts 1:12 - "Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you..."
Acts 1:17 - "It begins and ends with faith..."
Acts 1:17 - "Those who are right with God will live by trusting in him." (Quotation from Habakkuk 2:4)
Those verses sum up this past week. We are utterly exhausted, but everything we have done is work we have done for Him. It has been good to be able to help and encourage my husband's brother, and it has been good for my husband to hear the words, "I'm sorry" from his brother. Surrendering to God the number of your days is FAITH, it is not giving up. And when you are surrendered to God you can live by trusting Him, even under the shadow of death.
What Grace. What Love.
But oh, what anger—the wrath of God—when you refuse to surrender to Him.
