“From 6 disasters
He will rescue you,
Even in the 7th,
He will keep you from evil.”
-Job 5:16
At church today,
In the middle of worship,
My hands lifted,
Eyes closed,
I felt a little hand tap me.
Looked down to see
A little Kaito staring up at me
With a weird expression on his face.
He’s usually asleep when I’m praying
So he wasn’t really sure
What the hell, his mother was doing
I’m really believing God
For something y’all
And I was totally focused!
As we stared at each other,
God reminded me of Job’s words.
Here I am anxious for something
When right next to me,
Is the evidence that He hears,
The physical manifestation of a hope:
Kaito!
There was a time
I was desperate to hold this child
We bought every baby item in faith
Ignored the advice,
When they asked
That we save the stuff
For our next baby.
The one that would stay.
There was a time Kaito was just a hope,
A miracle no one knew could manifest.
I clung to his life in faith,
Terrified, tiny faith,
And from the 6th disaster
HE rescued me.
Even in the 7th,
He will keep me.
Certainly. •
