The Father's Hand

Nobody likes to wait, especially in this fast pace era. I think for those couples that waiting for their first baby, they could understand how frustrated and disappointed it could be in the process. This is the journey of waiting, learning and seeing God's wonderful plan for us form. Yes, it is dragging long, feel like ages, but the small little voice inside us keep speaking "Trust me! Am I not the Lord that fulfils what I promise?" Again and again our wonderful Lord Jesus ensures us to stand by faith, claim with faith of what we have asked from Him. "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." This verse seems harder and harder for us to apply in life when all the adversity comes our way and when Ida's body condition is not improving. However, God is always faithful. Again and again God reminds us that He performs miracle through our faith. "Everything is possible for him who believes" says Jesus. Yes Lord, we will claim like what the man in Mark claimed "I do believe. Help me to overcome my unbelief!".
Pregnancy is in fact a miracle, from an egg and sperm to a human. The change of fetus to a baby is an amazing process that only God alone is always to make this happen. We always know that baby is a blessing from heaven. We human can plan for when to start a family, when to stop, but ultimately only God will decide whether it will happen. Thousands of health couple without any reason are unable to conceive as they wish, and no scientific explanation can be given. So we know well, our hope is with the Lord, He who holds our future, He who is going to bless us with a little one in our family.
When will God open Ida's womb? When will He bless us with a child? Only He knows but His plan is greater than our plan for He says His plan is to prosper us not to harm us. He knows when is the best time for this little one to come. We know the waiting is worthy to see His miracle comes through and ultimately His name be glorified. We also know that He speaks clearly to us that I is not long, it is soon when He will fulfil His promise. This is the God we serve, the loving, intimate and faithful God!
