Psalm 105:1-11

This Psalm calls us to remember the importance of prayer, the acknowledgment of pain, and the power of praise.

Have you ever received wonderful news? Did that same news lead to the most devastating news you’ve heard?

Twelve years ago, our family experienced this. We received news that our first grandchildren were going to be born. Four days before delivery, we received a devastating telephone call. One of the twins had died in vitro. It can’t be! How could you do this to our family, God? We love and serve you. We’re your children. These parents are preparing to be missionaries!

In the days following his birth, our grandson was diagnosed with serious health conditions. “He won’t walk or talk” was the prognosis of one specialist. We cried out to God, thanked Him for our blessings, and rallied our village for support. “Blessings” by Laura Story was my prayer.

Today, our grandson is a walking, talking, baseball playing miracle! God is so good! Five years after his birth, we added healthy twin granddaughters to our family! God is faithful; praise HIM in all things!

Have you ever had a situation you thought would not get better? Did you see a blessing in the end?

Prayer:

Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, and call upon his Name; tell everyone what things he has done.
