After watching Theresa spiral downward for three days and then getting her to Emergency Wednesday night, admitting her and then narrowly missing death with emergency surgery Sunday night – having said our goodbyes before her surgery in case she did not live through it… the wind had gone from my sails.
Yet I have found joy this morning in stepping back from praying for and anticipating… outcomes. My prayer now is that Tee and I would BE (present tense prayer) like two “Psalm 1” trees whose fruit and vitality give evidence of an underground river.
We are praying that God would grant courage and strength and faith and joy that he may be seen in us while we go through what he has determined for his glory.
May he be seen in us.
2Corinthians 4
13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in his presence. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
