---RESTING IN GOD~~

"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise
of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory
to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do
what he had promised." ---(Romans 4:20-21) --

--IT WAS our last family holiday before our eldest son went off to college. As we filled the back pew in the little seaside church, my heart filled with love as I glanced at my five reasonably tidy children. "Please protect them spiritually and keep them close to You, Lord," I prayed silently.

The final hymn had a rousing chorus based on 2 Timothy 1:2 . "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him (KJV). I was assured that God would keep their souls.

In the years since, there have been times of wandering for some of my children and outright rebellion for others. Sometimes I wondered about God's faithfulness. Then I remembered Abraham. He never failed to trust the promise he had received (Genesis 15:5-6). Through years of waiting and mistaken attempts to help things along, Abraham hung on to God's promise until Isaac was born.

What an encouraging reminder! We tell God our request. We know He is powerful. We thank Him for His faithfulness. ~~
