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 |

Sucede a menudo que el ajetreo diario nos impide percibir las cosas más simples e importantes que Dios nos proporciona... Desde el aire que respiras hoy, todo forma parte del gran regalo de Dios para ti. A veces estamos tan distraídos con todo que no nos percatamos de las maravillosas dádivas del Padre. Detente y reflexiona sobre la vida, la familia, la belleza de la creación, la salud, las sonrisas, la gentileza, la espontaneidad de los niños, el amor de Dios... ¡Hay tanto que podemos considerar y agradecer! Piensa en eso y disfruta un día lleno de bendiciones. Para y considera las maravillas de Dios hoy: Pausa un poco en tus quehaceres diarios y disfruta un tiempo a solas con Dios. Considera las pequeñas cosas, cada gesto, los detalles que revelan el gran amor que el Señor tiene por ti. Según transcurre el día agrade...
