The Works of God

We had the privilege of watching some children over the weekend as their youngest sibling, just 13 months old, needed to go to the hospital very suddenly.  He’s a complicated boy because of his disabilities.

Those early days and months and years of disability are intense, frightening and disorienting for young moms and dads.

Young moms and dads need our prayers.  If you know some today, pray for them by name.  If you don’t know any right now, pray for the ones he’s preparing to bring to you.  Experience tells me that eventually God will bring somebody experiencing disability for the first time into your life, no matter who or where you are.

And treasure Jesus above everything, because that is what they will need from you:

For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.  May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.  Romans 15:4-7
