I am standing at the edge of a fiery furnace. Helicopter, after much prayer and thought, has NOT hit lotto on ANY of his kindergarten options. So like Abednego, I stand with the question “Will I believe that God is for us even if it doesn’t look as I think it should?” Will I believe even if Helicopter goes to his terrible neighborhood school? Will God’s grace be enough even there? And, somewhere, I know it will be. But my heart is caught in my throat. My fears are all present. But I know that even if he goes to the furnace that God has promised that He has a plan for him. A plan to prosper and not to harm him. THAT is God’s truth. And like Abednego, in this tough moment, that is all there is. So on I walk. Toward the fiery furnace of Broward Elementary with Helicopter’s hand in mine knowing that God keeps His promises. That Helicopter won’t even smell of smoke. That our minds will be blown. But even if not, that God is still with us all the time. And if He is for us, who can be against us?
