NEVERTHELESS

I recently watched a very dear person lay her husband to rest after 49 years of marriage. The pain and sadness in her eyes was almost more than I could bear. Prior to the passing of my mother in 2011, I had never really experienced the loss of a close loved one. There had been cousins and other relatives and even when my grandmother passed, I was not at an age that I fully comprehended the loss. I remember the day very vividly that she came to my house and informed me that she had been diagnosed with cancer. I can still hear the Dr say to her as me and my dad sat by....."This cancer is going to take your life". I would imagine anyone facing this would be like Hezekiah.
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.'" Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a whole heart, and have done what is good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.…

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, facing His own crucifixon also prayed. Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from me, Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours, be done.

When faced with circumstance contradictory to your prayers, it is important to remember......NEVERTHELESS.
When you don't get the job, the healing, the deliverance remember.....NEVERTHELESS.
We won't always understand the sovereign moves of God but we must always submit to His will.
God is willing and more than able to deliver and heal, Nevertheless, if He doesn't He's still good and He's still God.
Love Y'all!!!
