Treasuring & Trusting God's Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God."

{John 1:1}

"For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power, making it active, operative, energizing, and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the diving line of the breath of life and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart."{Hebrews 4:12}

After watching this video, I had to do some serious confessing.
I mean, if I believe the Word IS God, and that it is ALIVE and FULL OF POWER, than why do I take it for granted? Why don't I spend more time reading it? Studying it? Memorizing it?
Why do I sometimes doubt verses like this one...
"And we know that God causes all things work together for the good forthose who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."{Romans 8:28}
I want my boys to fall in love with God's Word.To treasure it.To live by it.To give their lives to it.And if need be, for it.
But it has to start with me.
As we walk this unfamiliar path with Miles, I am completely trusting God's Word and God's plan. Miles was fearfully and wonderfully made. Designed and created by God Himself!
Our doctor's appointment today didn't go completely as we had hoped.We are being referred to a Neurodevelopmental Pediatrician.
The word Autism was used today. Out loud.We knew it was a possibility. The red flags are there.But, it will be quite awhile before we will know anything.Lots of testing and evaluating still to be done.And he's still so young.
So now it's a waiting game.Waiting to get in to see the specialist.Waiting to see how he continues to develop.Waiting to see if he makes any progress in therapy.
Miles has an evaluation tomorrow with the Developmental Therapist and next week he will have some hearing testing done to rule out any issues there.
I am so thankful for the people God has surrounded us with that are working on our behalf to help Miles get the help, testing & evaluations he needs. I'm not sure there is anything more special than perfect strangers coming along side you for the soul purpose of helping your children be all that God designed them to be.
