It was Sharon’s*
birthday, so I thought I should take a moment to jot her a birthday note.
I began the birthday
email, praying about what blessing from Scripture to give her.
“Really,
Lord?” I asked, as the Lord brought a verse to mind. That might seem a little
strange for a birthday blessing, I thought.
Well, I
could just be candid about that, I reasoned to myself, as I felt further
convicted that it was the right verse. So here is what I wrote:
Just thought I’d send a blessing your way. Might seem a
little unique, but this verse blessed me yesterday. It’s a good way to live. Psalm
112:7: “He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in
the LORD.” Happy birthday!
And here is part
of the response I received from Sharon:
Man, God is so good & amazing! The verse that
blessed you yesterday does so with me today, as literally I just learned that
my younger brother's eldest daughter was admitted to the hospital yesterday due
to complications with her leukemia. I just stand in awe that God knew the
timing & need.
God knows
what He is doing, and it is pretty awesome that He lets us be part of His
ministry to others.
