PROOF
Today's reading: Proverbs 29-30

"Every word of God proves true. He defends all who come to him for protection." Proverbs 30:5 NLT

As much as I'd like to, I'll not always be there for my son.

Oh, I'll try my very best. I'll make every effort. I'll attempt to be the loudest fan he has cheering at every event he's involved in.

But I will miss some. I will forget. I will have things come up that keep me from being where he needs me to be. I will be sick on occasion. I will eventually die, leaving my promise to always be there for him invalid and unfulfilled.

I can sit and worry about that. I can easily become overwhelmed at my inadequacies and inabilities in regards to always being there for him. I can fear for that point in time when I won't be here and he will be without me. I can spend all my time making preparation for that time when I won't be.

Or I can rest on the promises of God.

As a mom, I can rest at night knowing God will ALWAYS be there with my boy. Always. No excuses. No changes in plans. No illness or death.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will prevent God from keeping every single promise He has made--to me and to mine.
