My prayer for you and for myself is that our faith in the God of Abraham would deepen our understanding of His infinite greatness as we seek to understand the power of His divine providence. Though this is refuted by many Christians, the scriptures are very clear that God is orchestrating human history. He is orchestrating all of creation, even down to the beauty of a rose amid a wilderness that is only seen by His eyes. The Lord causes it to grow; He nourishes it with rain and the sunlight, and it flourishes in all its beauty for a time, then it withers away. Even so, Christian, the hairs upon your head are numbered, and the day of your death was decreed before the foundations of this world were laid. He also sees and knows every bird that has fallen to the ground. There is no way in our finite mind that we can begin to grasp such power, for we are limited in our capacity to even seek to try. The Lord speaking through Isaiah says Himself, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Fourteen years ago, Chad and I experienced our first miscarriage. At that time, we already had a bouncy 2-yearold. While her understanding of pregnancy was basically non-existent, her awareness of a place called Heaven was not. She already knew at that tender age that Heaven is a real place where Jesus is and that when people’s bodies die that isn’t the end of them. She could comprehend, at least in some small way that there had once been a tiny soul in her mother’s tummy that was now in Heaven with Jesus.
