how does the LORD cope with sickness? I have 2 children he has millions. Does he feel what we feel? Jesus did experience all we have, he had mercy on us, he cried when he saw us in pain, he loved those who belonged to him and showed compassion to many.
The LORD knows each of us. He knows all the days of our lives before we even know them. Yet he is right there with us for each moment of our lives. He feels the pain i feel today - caleb was getting better and yesterday he vomited twice, and tonite he woke up and vomited. It's very upsetting for me, because he's so upset and all i can do is hold him because i can't instantly wave a wand and make it all go away.
The LORD sees caleb's little face too and he sees mine. He's seen his children experience the most horrific things in this world. And he doesn't wave a magic wand and make it instantly go away. I would want to intervene. But i know that's not the plan.
It's like seeing Jesus suffer at the hands of the soldiers, tortured and nailed to a cross...how did God not unleash all the power he holds to wipe those soldiers from the face of the earth and beat Satan to a pulp??? I mean the angels must have been pacing up and down like caged lions waiting to be released so they could devour all before them and save Jesus. But they could do nothing without God's permission.
How does the LORD suffer with us so?? How does he comfort us and hold us in his arms and not want to act?? Even if he is all knowing. Satan's time on this earth keeps rolling on...i know God sees time differently from us but still...how can he live in the moment and view the future the same way??
So glad that my job is sooooo much smaller. I just have to figure out why my son is spewing and if i can't do that I have to do what i can to comfort and help him through it. I only have to be discerning about my two little ones and I pray the LORD grants me so much grace in this area. Because I have no idea what i'm doing.
I just have to care for my two little ones, hold them in my arms. Unlike the LORD who holds the world and works out what's best for all...the seen and the unseen.

This was great, Tali!
I will keep you and your babies in prayer.
Am praying complete health for them.
You are in winter now, correct??
we are at summer's end...one more week until school begins (and work for me).
In about 4 weeks it will be officially autumn. My favorite season (temperature wise!)
