When I woke on Sunday morning, I read my daily e-mail from In Touch Ministries which sends daily scripture and thoughts on them.
The title for the day was " Trusting God to Keep His Promise"
In it I read, Hebrews 10:23 affirms,
"He who promised is faithful"
I knew this answer came from Alec, not only was it a sign from him because of the 10:23, he was telling me that I can and need to trust God because he is with him and he is happy and safe. I know Alec knew I needed the answer to come from him.
I thought ok Al, I will try to trust God, but I don't know what to do about the promises in the Bible that I now believe are untrue. It's very difficult to read and hear those words that I believed so strongly in and held so tightly to.
Later this day , I was reading a book by a women Preacher and in it she wrote,
" Sometimes God doesn't answer your prayer because he has something better for you"
I felt this was the answer I needed , the reason our prayers weren't answered was because God had something so much better for Alec. It's hard to believe that there is anything better for him than being with us who love and adore him with all of our hearts and all of our souls and all that we are. But I guess this is where the trust comes in.
