In His Time

My Marine in the desert, 2009

        “...My words…will be fulfilled in their proper time.”  (Luke 1:20)

            Through Scripture in 2007, I believed the Lord told me that my son would go to the desert and would return safely from “the land of the enemy”.  Two years later, he deployed to Iraq. I was asked many times if I were afraid for my child; to which I could truthfully answer, “No, I'm not afraid because I believe God has promised he will come home.”

And he did, just as the Lord had said.

         Are you awaiting the fulfillment of a promise from God?

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things

A loving heart has waited long to see;

Those words will be fulfilled to which she clings,

Because her God has promised faithfully;

And, knowing Him, she ne’er can doubt His Word;

He speaks and it is done. The mighty Lord!

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things,

O burdened heart, rest ever in His care;

In quietness beneath His shadowing wings

Await the answer to your longing prayer.
