Sometimes—when things are going opposite the way we think
they should—don't we in our human nature "fight" what God is doing?
I think as moms, we often believe we know what is best
for our children. And, instead of trusting God to be working through our
prayers, we start interfering.
Interference didn't work out well for the people in the
video. Interference didn't work out well for Abraham and Sarah. Interference
caused Rebekah and Jacob heartache. We can probably think of plentiful examples
from our own lives. We are slow learners sometimes.
Praying mom, as you take your child to the Throne of
mercy and grace in prayer, remember, it is just that—a Throne of mercy and
grace. But it also the Throne of the all wise God who, unlike us, does know
what is best. He knows exactly the path He wants our child to walk and how best
to get his or her feet placed on that path.
So, pray for the best as you see it—and don't give up,
even if your "church" collapses in the waiting. Instead, keep
trusting when you see the worst. God may be up to something that He means to
use to bring eternal salvation and glory in your child's life.
For now we are looking in a mirror that
gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma],
but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now
I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and
clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and
understood [by God].
1 Corinthians
13:12 (AMP)
Or—
We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re
squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the
weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as
clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
1 Corinthians
13:12 (MSG)
