Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
This verse held so true for my family this week. My 2-month old daughter was recently diagnosed with a diaphragmatic hernia. We were told that she needed surgery and needed it sooner than later. Well, our doctor came and got us 5 minutes after the surgery started and told us that he felt like our prayers had been answered. Long story short, what two different surgeons thought was a herniated or a weakened diaphragm was actually a much smaller area that was vacant of muscle. If you are like me, that doesn't seem any better, but the spot where the muscle is missing is very small, and our doctor expects the muscles around it to grow and fill the vacant space. He has told us that the current condition is asymptomatic, so we will schedule a few more exams to monitor her progress over the next 18 months, but are likely in the clear. No surgery!!
When my husband would pray for healing for our daughter, I was skeptical. The morning of her surgery, I asked the Lord to forgive my skepticism and to do whatever He thought was best. The Lord did immeasurably more than I ever could have imagined, and we were so blessed by His grace! Is there an area of your life where you are doubting God? Is there something that you need to turn over to His hands? He may not answer the way we would always like, but He is God, and He is Good, and He is able to do more than we could ever imagine!
