January 19, 2021 Unbreakable Faith－Isaiah 26：3-13

After reading the story of this family having a child of autism, I feel sorry for them and at the same time I admire their strong faith and determination. God gave them the strength and wisdom to make the right decision to let God be their supporter in their difficult time of fear, anger, frustration and dismay. We all know we don’t want this to happen in our lives, but the choice is not up to us. In that condition. Quite often we ask God to correct the problem, but we need God urgently for help and grant us peace at the same time.

Diane Dokko Kim and her husband grieved facing a lifetime of caring for a cognitively disabled child. In her book Unbroken Faith, she admits to struggling with adjusting their dreams and expectations for their beloved son’s future. Through this painful process, they learned that God can handle their anger, doubts, and fears. Diane uses her experiences to encourage parents of children with special needs. She tells others about God’s unbreakable promises, limitless power, and loving faithfulness. She assures people that He gives us permission to grieve when we experience the death of a dream, an expectation, a way or a season of life.

The prophet, Isaiah declares that God’s people can trust in the Lord forever, “Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.” (Isaiah 26:4). He’s able to sustain us in every situation, “Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.” (Isaiah 26:12)

Focusing on His unchanging character and crying out to Him during troublesome times revitalizes our hope. When we face any loss, disappointment, or difficult circumstance, God invites us to be honest with Him. He can handle our ever-changing emotions and our questions. He remains with us and refreshes our spirits with enduring hope. Even when we feel like our lives are falling apart, God can make our faith unbreakable.
