For the Glory of Our Wonder-Working, Awe-Inpsiring, Jehovah-Jireh

Stepping out in faith, stepping out of my comfort zone, is teaching me more about the awesome power of our Almighty Savior than I ever imagined. Day by day, Jesus smiles down and reminds me that he is able to do more than I can conceive. While praying with others, I thought it would be encouraging to have a place where we can come and share these wonderful works with one another.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.(Ephesians 3:20-21)

The Father's Voice--Part 4--The Mother's Heart-Ache

Tonight, the heart of the mother aches.

Plans have been made to meet the father, and she made him aware she would contact him when they were done. The fluttering of her stomach began again as she called the father, calendar in hand, to discuss with him the dates of the summer. She heard his voice again, only it was his voice mail. He only spoke his last name.

She left a message for him to return her call. That was yesterday afternoon, and she's yet to hear from him. She has prayed and petitioned The Heavenly Father to speak to her earthly father. She has fear that her son will face rejection once again, something he's know too many times.

The son's words send the message that he's not concerned, but the mother's heart feels a different story. He has been quiet today, uninvolved. While he had earlier said it would be okay if his father didn't want to meet him, she was surprised when he asked if she had reached the father. When she told him she left a message, she wasn't concerned. Now, more than twenty-four hours later, she is.

Would you join her in prayer, prayer for the father, prayer for the son, prayer for peace? Would you pray that moving of the Holy Spirit on the heart of the father? would you pray that he come to know the Heavenly Father? Would you join the mother in asking the Father to do more than she could ask or imagine?
