THE LORD HATH DONE GREAT THINGS

Has the Lord ever been your help, guide or surety?

There were many times He has been mine.

When raising my children there were times

I thought one of them wouldn't live due to 

illnesses or accidents.  

I would cry out to the Lord from the depths 

of my soul for the Lord to watch over them

and protect them and bring healing to their

body.

As they have grown into adults I still cry 

out to the Lord for them, as they are under 

not only the pressures of adulthood from

their jobs and families, but they are 

blasted each day with all the political 

unrest in our country, global changes, and
the call from the world to pull away from 

our Godly heritage. 

There have been times recently that I cried 

out to the Lord and He heard my cry.  There have
also been times I cried out to Him in great
agony and I know He hears, but no
answer is heard, no signs are given,
and no promises, but I know He is my
constant and though I can't see Him,
feel Him or touch Him, He is there and
will hear my cry and answer in His divine
time and not in mine. 

One night as we were remodeling our home,

which is a long disastrous story in itself, 

we had a water line break.  Water was spewing

all over the newly remodeled floors and I 

caught myself crying out to God, "God

do you not even see what has happened to 

us lately?"   

As soon as the water was shut off at the valve

and cleaned up from all over the floor, I realized 

all the water that went everywhere had not touched

the newly layed laminate flooring but was only 

on the ceramic flooring, which was a miracle in 

itself. 

I immediately starting crying as I realized the 

Lord does truly know what is going on and 

many times He has a plan far greater than

our little selfish plan so we need to just
step aside and let Him work out the details
even if that means things get broken
or destroyed.  They are earthly, souls
are eternal  

I had to stop and pray

and tell the Lord that whatever reason we

are struggling so massively, to help me 

accept it for His glory, so others

may see Christ in and through me even 

when my world is crumbling all around

and I feel utterly helpless. 

It always helps me to remember the past

times He brought me through storms that 

during the storm, many times, I asked where 

He was, or asked if He was there listening

to my cry. 

Nothing wrong with asking those questions. 

But, I found with each trial He was there watching

from a distance so I could grow, so I would call 

out to Him and so I would see just how small I was 

so I could realize just how great He is. 

The LORD hath done great things for them.

The LORD hath done great things 

for us; whereof we are glad.

Psalm 126:3-4
