He's so faithful!

About a week and a half ago we found out a diagnosis on my step-son, William, that we thought could be true but wasn't sure of. Even though I knew it was a possibility for him to have this disorder, it hit me hard to know it was real. God, as He always does, had given me exactly what I needed that day to face this situation. I read in Matthew 2:14-23 how the Old Testament had predicted the life of Jesus, getting so detailed as to say he would flee to Egypt for safety. I read over and over again in these few verses how the prophets had predicted events about Jesus and they had come true. I asked God what I could get from these verses and He told me, "I'm faithful to my Word." Back when the prophets were alive and well, God had told them that these things would happen and they did, just as He had said.
In the event with my son, the Lord brought to mind Romans 8:28, "For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, those who have been called according to His purpose." I realized God told me here that He was working everything, even in my life, for His good and I knew from the verses above that God is faithful to His Word, so I can trust Him that everything will be ok. Also for the first time I realized what the second part of that verse meant. According to God's purpose, I have been called to be a mother of a child with a disorder. Wow! So there's a purpose to all of this!That's very encouraging. I feel honored that the Lord considers me strong enough for this, that He would choose me for this exact situation. Don't get me wrong, I love my son and feel priveledged to be a part of his life. God picked me to be a part of this boy's life for some reason. It can be difficult at times though, so it's nice knowing God has planned all this out for a specific reason. So right now I'm very glad that the Lord is faithful to His Word because without that knowledge I would be hopeless.
