A family who is very close to us (especially my wife) lost their little baby boy today in a horrible accident. I will not go into details, but for everyone who reads this blog, please pray for them in this time of grief and loss. Pray that God will fill His people with His Spirit to minister to this family today and in the days to come. It will only be by God’s grace that this family will be healed. They have three older children and I cannot imagine what they are dealing with\u00a0at this moment.<\/p>\n
This is now a time to remember that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. God has called this family to suffer a horrible thing, but we must never forget that all those who have been united to Christ have been called to\u00a0suffer much in this world… but because this family is united to Jesus their suffering will not be in vain and they will receive back\u00a0seven fold of that which they lost this day.<\/p>\n
Pray for their perseverance and preservation, that this tragedy will not cause them to fall away from the living God. Pray that their marriage will be maintained through God’s Spirit working out their salvation. Pray that they will be transformed from one degree of glory to another.<\/p>\n
