Trusting in God’s Sovereignty
As I reflect on Psalm 138:8, “The Lord will accomplish what concerns me,” I am reminded of a powerful testimony that has stayed with me to this day.
A Mother’s Plea
The night before her surgery, a worried mother sat on the edge of her bed, overcome with anxiety about her twin 8-year-old girls. What would happen to them if she didn’t make it through the operation? Who would care for them? In her distress, she cried out to God, asking for 10 more years to ensure they would become self-sufficient.
A Vision of Provision
In response, God gave her a vision of many people surrounding her girls, caring for them and providing for their needs. With renewed faith, she prayed, trusting that God would answer her plea.
God’s Faithfulness
Ten years later, God took her home, but not before her prayers had been answered. Her girls were now 18, living independently, with good jobs and their own cars. They were self-sufficient, just as their mother had prayed. Today, they are both married to good husbands and have always been employed, with one now enjoying retirement.
A Lesson in Trust
This powerful story reminds us that God cares for us far more than we can imagine. He is a God who accomplishes what concerns us, even when we can’t see a way forward. As we navigate life’s challenges, may we remember to bring our concerns to Him, trusting that He will work everything out for our good.
What Concerns You Today?
Take a moment to reflect on what’s weighing on your heart. Is there something specific that’s causing you anxiety or fear? Bring it before God, trusting that He will accomplish what concerns you. His sovereignty is a comfort and a strength, and He is always faithful to His promises.
