This week has not been the week we had anticipated. It has been foundation-shaking, and I have struggled with anger. If I’m personally dealing with pain, I cope with it pretty well. But seeing one of my children in pain and not being able to do anything to help, has been extremely difficult. I have never questioned God or His plans in the way I have this week. But here is what I haven’t questioned - whether He is there, and if He hears our cries and cries with us. In the midst of the “floodwaters” rising in our lives, and all the questions that I can’t answer, I am thankful for the strong foundation on which our family stands.
“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.” Luke 6:46-49 NLT
