The Williams Hold You in Our Prayers

Randall and Teri,

Since we first heard of Randall’s injury, we have prayed for you daily. We know that God uses all things to move us deeper into His grace. In a time of such trial, know that you are deep in His grace indeed.

We pray that God will not only heal, but also restore Randall. How encouraging to hear of his great progress so far!

Teri, we pray for you and your beautiful children too. You must be exhausted. May God bless you with strength, and courage, and sweet rest.

I am reminded of Exodus 14. At this point in their journey, many of the Hebrews were weary and began to cry out against Moses and against God. God led them to the see where they perceived they had reached a dead end. Their complaints rang out, “Why would you lead us out here to die? Were there not enough graves in Egypt?” God, through Moses, told the people to “Be still and I will fight for you.” In a most amazing way, the Lord parted the Red Sea, led the Israelites across, and allowed the water to come crashing down on the Egyptian warriors.

The people had no concept of the miracles God would use to provide for them. They could not see as God sees. They did not realize that his miraculous intervention would stop the Egyptian pursuit forever. They could not see how they would cross the sea. They did not understand just who was fighting for them.

Of course, you are not in a battle of this kind, but the principle holds true: let God fight for you. He is greater than your enemy. He is greater than your circumstance. He is greater than Randall’s injuries. He is the great physician and He is already revealing His power in Randall’s healing.

Blessings and Love to you all. We continue to pray.

Sincerely,

Steve & Cherie Williams
