Terrifying MomentsBen AyalaWhen our first
child was born, my wife, Marlene, was in labor for more than 30 hours,
creating tremendous stress for both her and the baby. The
doctor, a fill-in for her regular physician, was unfamiliar with her
and her pregnancy. As
a result, he waited too long to make the decision to perform an
emergency Caesarean section, and the resulting trauma put our infant
son in the neo-natal intensive care unit. There was nothing they could do to help our baby to overcome his trauma-induced condition. By God’s grace, Matt recovered—but I cannot remember any moment in my life as terrifying as when I stood by his crib in intensive care.Yet I knew the Lord was near as I talked with Him through prayer.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. —Psalm 23:4 |
When
fear is overwhelming, the Lord is there. His
comforting presence will
carry us through our deepest trials. When
peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll— Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.” —Spafford |

A propósito, las únicas personas que se desaniman son aquellas que luchan por algo grande. El desanimo rara vez toca al corazón de la gente sin visión y sin metas, siendo el arma del enemigo para aquellos que saben lo que quieren. “Mira que te mando que te esfuerces y seas valiente; no temas ni desmayes. Porque Jehová tu Dios estará contigo en dondequiera que vayas” Josué 1:7 Dios ha prometido estar contigo todos los dias de tu vida. En el libro de Josue, cuando el pueblo de Israel se preparaba para la conquista de Canaan, y entrar en la tierra prometida, Dios le promete a Josuè que nunca lo desamparará y requiere de él de dos virtudes indispensables, el esfuerzo y la valentía. Dios no ha cambiado hoy y requiere que sus hijos nos mantengamos en pie ...
