Gratituesday

i am grateful for a God who is bigger.

bigger than my comprehension, with plans bigger than my capacity to understand.

a week and a half ago a family i know buried their 26 day old baby. she had many health troubles, and was not expected to survive birth, let alone 26 days after birth. her parents seem to be putting all of their strength into viewing their baby's life through the filter of God's Word.

three weeks ago a very sweet teen at our church had a brain hemorrhage. she isn't doing well and is in hospice care at home now.

i know there are infinite examples of these types of circumstances in people's lives all over the world and i'm grateful to follow the God who is bigger than any circumstance.

i will never understand why these things happen, but i know God has a plan (Jeremiah 29:11).

i know God cares and will give peace to those who seek Him (Philipians 4:6-7 & Luke 12:29-31).

i know that no matter what a situation looks like God will use it for our benefit (Romans 8:28 & Matthew 7:11).

so i will choose to believe His words and be grateful that He knows what He is doing.
