Our God is an Awesome God

My son went to sleep singing Our God is an Awesome God, and I cried for him. Most of you know my son suffers from things such as allergies, eczema, and pretty much both attack his skin and cause him to have cuts all over his hands and feet. I wish it was so easy just to put something on it and it disappear or try a new cream and it feel better. Nothing works. That's how I feel anyway.

I as a mother want the best for my children, when I see them in pain my heart aches with them. I wish I could have Isaiah's skin and He could have mine. I want so badly to take his place, that's been my prayer these past few years.

Tonight Isaiah asked "mom why did God make me this way?" I responded "son, I don't know but what I do know is God will get the glory! The blind man didn't do anything wrong but God had a greater plan, so too with your life God is going to do that same thing son...(John 9:1-4)

The enemy is putting thoughts in Isaiah's mind that He did something wrong to deserve this pain he is always in. But I know he has done nothing wrong and God has allowed this, but why? We don't always know why God allows things in our lives. We don't always understand what He sees because His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. And who are we to say what the potter should do with the clay?!

No matter what we are facing or what hardship we are going through we must bring glory to God. We must continue to worship Him. Isaiah has a very tough path and as a mom I am so sad weeping and praying over my son but I find strength in who God is and what He promises. Friends our God is able. There is not one thing He can not do and I am teaching that to my son.

So tonight me being a mom I cried as I seen my boy raising his hands proclaiming that "Our God is an Awesome God who reigns from heaven above with wisdom power and love our God is an awesome God!"

We can learn a lot from these little turkeys. Their pure hearts for Jesus brings glory to the Father always.

Maybe you're facing something that is causing you to doubt the goodness of the Lord tonight, can I just encourage you to change your thinking. Remember His promises. Remember that God is ALWAYS doing a good thing! Even in what seems bad and painful to us. Trust the Potter!
