"Yet this I call to mind and therefore have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
As this first official day of recovery begins, we are reminded of these verses in 2 Samuel...
"You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light. With your help I can advance against a troop my God can scale a wall. "As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless' he shields all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet of deer; he causes me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You make your saving help my shield; you help has made me great. You provide a broad path for my feet so that my ankles do not give way. I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me. You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes." " 2 Samuel 22: 29-41
God's Word is such a gift, it is active (Hebrews 4:12) and speaks in ways that bring such hope and encouragement...this passage in 2 Samuel provides a reminder and glimpse of God's hand throughout this journey that my mom is on.
