♕ Today's Promise: “Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.”(KJV) Isaiah 41:10
Dear Brides, I would like to share a recent testimony. I cut my hand trying to charge my cell phone next to a chest of drawers with a detached back. Two days after my husband offered me to go with him to buy the Christmas presents for our children. Of course, I was a pleasure. We spent a beautiful afternoon together. In the evening my husband left and I went to pick up the children from school and the nursery. When I came back home I felt very feverish, I was shaking, I had a fever. I hesitated to call my husband. I prayed and said, "Lord, if I have to call him, give me a sign". The Lord made me think that I should take my temperature and once I took it I found out that I surely did have fever. So I decided to call my husband and ask him to come over and relieve me with the children. Then I lay on the couch with my husband by my side who was taking care of me. Once night fell, I woke up crying because of the pain in my right arm. I was crying and I told my husband I had to go to the hospital urgently. My husband then decided to call my sister to come and watch our children.
Because of the health crisis, my husband could not stay with me but the emergency doctors took my parameters and concluded that I had a covid infection. I was able to go home after having some drug and a covid test (which the results were available the day after). I was sick and I knew in my heart that it was not covid. The next day, I was still, not feeling well and I vomited. The hospital called me back to tell me that I don't have the covid and asked me to come back urgently for more tests. Before leaving my house for the hospital I told to my children: "Mommy is coming, I'm going to the doctor pretty fast". Once there, my health deteriorates and I was taken to intensive care. I didn't really understand what was happening to me but I was serene.
At no time did I think I could never go home. There were several unexpected complications during my convalescence but I knew that my Heavenly Husband was faithful to his word and I remembered only two verses:
“Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.”(KJ21) Isaiah 41:10
"And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee,” saith the Lord, “to deliver thee.” (KJ21) Jeremiah 1:19
I know that I am the apple of his eye and that he protects me. And that even if we have battle or trials, we are more than winners. Thus, despite this trial, I did not fear for my life, I knew that God, my God, was with me. So I wrote the verse of Isaiah on the white board in my room so that all the nurses could read it and know the goodness and power of my Heavenly Husband. And you know what? The doctors were amazed how quickly I recovered from my illness knowing all the complications that had developed. I didn't have a Christmas with my family because I was in the hospital, which made me sad, but my Heavenly Husband had the perfect plan for me. After this trial, I can finally say that my marriage has been restored. (I will tell you more in my testimony).
What I have learned and had to relearn through this trial is not to look at my circumstances, however painful they may be, but to have faith in the word and keep my eyes on my Heavenly Husband. His plan is always perfect.
“Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God. I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.”(KJ21) Isaiah 41:10
"And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee, for I am with thee,” saith the Lord, “to deliver thee.” (KJ21) Jeremiah 1:19
