God Takes Care of His Kids
Psalm 37:23-25 (NLT)
23 "The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. 24 Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.
25 Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread."
We struggle daily against temptation, unbelief and discouragement, These are tricks of the enemy to destroy God's children.
The secret to living a triumphant Christian life is to believe daily His promises, to remind Him of all the promises He has made to us and to claim them for ourselves.
Last Easter Sunday began a year-long journey for our family in which we had to trust God for the outcome of a situation over which we had absolutely no control. As humans, we tend to want to 'fix' whatever is wrong in a quick-fix mode, we don't like to leave things in God's hands to bring the ultimate correct outcome.
But God tells us to put our cares in His hands.
This Easter Sunday evening, just one year after the journey began, God confirmed His perfect answer to the situation that had weighed so heavily on the Illum family.
Can't share all the details here, but I do want to confirm that God has been faithful, He worked His plan and He has done all things well! The outcome is perfect!
Even if we are tempted to try to tell God how to work things out, we need to hold our peace, and just trust Him. He says, when we've done all we know to do, we're to STAND, and let Him take care of the solution.
We want to thank everyone who has prayed with us during this year for our extended family. We stand AMAZED that God loves us so much that He died for us and He cares for the things that burden us. He is so faithful!
God's never late, and once again He has shown up "Right On Time". When we say "Jesus", He speaks peace to our souls.
Love ya,
