Praise his name!

I went to a shower this weekend for a friend who DEEPLY desired to have a baby but was unable to get pregant for almost 5 years.  After 5 years of longing, waiting, praying, crying, believing, more waiting, wondering, hoping, more believing, etc...............she is expecting and the joy is deep.   "A longing fulfilled is SWEET to the soul." Prov. 13:19   "He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children." Psalm  113:9   Listen to the rest of that chapter:   "Praise the Lord. Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory is above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. He settles the barren woman in her home, as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord."     If you are in the middle of waiting for something as a mom (or not as a mom) ...........hang in there. Keep praying, keep seeking, keep believing. His name is to be praised. Praise his name today from the rising of the sun until it goes down. Teach your children to do the same.  He is at work. He is the God of perfect timing. Blessings from Bombadil.
