The Daily Movement of God is not limited to the streets. It is our desire it would happen in every sphere, starting in our home and radiating out into the city. We are not perfect - there are more days where we are discouraged or absent-minded. But thankfully God does not grow weary!
Ben, my husband has been working on an emergency in his company. Their basic license generator no longer functions, so they called everyone into "the war room" to solve the mystery of what went wrong. We haven't seen him hardly at all since the middle of last week, and even on the weekend he had to work. Every day he has come home with things they have delineated are not the source of the trouble, but never finding out where the problem was so they could fix it.
Ben was telecommuting late last night and the kids and I were overhearing him talk to all his co-workers, still at the office, hashing it out. My youngest, Elijah, was scared listening to the description of the issue. Don't ask me how, but he was. About ten minutes later I came into Elijah's bedroom as he was getting ready for bed. He told me that he was praying for his dad. I said, "Yeah, I need to pray for him too. Let me pray." So I sat down and prayed that the problem would pop right out so they could see it and fix it.
Lizzy, our middle child, came in for bed. I explained how we had prayed and what we had prayed for and I asked her if she wanted to get in on it. She said yes, and prayed quietly for a moment. I opened up the computer so that I could read another chapter of Acts (I read the Bible before bed at times). It took me a couple minutes to review the chapters. However I didn't start because Ben walked up the stairs, apparently off the conference call.
He said, "I think I discovered the problem."
Whoa!! Elijah burst into shock and joy, and I felt like I was floored, and I got goose bumps. Lizzy got excited and so did our eldest child, Grace, when she walked in to all the enthusiasm.
In fairness, Ben had found the problem a few minutes before we had prayed, but it was at that moment that it was sinking in for him and the rest of the team that they had found something significant and ended the conference call.
It turned out that there was more than one problem with the code, Ben reported today when he came home. But that has been discovered sometime early today, too. They are now piecing together the make shift solution, and Ben anticipates that they will not keep their employees from going home tomorrow night, so that means we get our Ben back!
Elijah came home from school this afternoon and said, "I told my friends today about how powerful Jesus is, and what He did when we prayed."
Thank you Jesus for listening to our prayers and encouraging us with the quick resolution we trusted you for. I am so glad the team is moving on and getting a view to this complication! We are all glad that Ben will be able to get some rest and get back to normal, soon. Please continue to show yourself to my children when we pray, by giving us good gifts from Your hand. I ask for greater works from your Holy Spirit.
