Mourning

Last night I heard that a woman I’ve been in ministry with has filed for divorce. I could only respond “ouch”. There are lots of details I don’t know (and that’s probably good), but I can only think how much our enemy is laughing.
And that we need to continue holding each other up in prayer. We need to pray that we as individuals would have the grace to see our sins and repent of them on a daily basis (c.f., Luther’s thesis #1). And that we would have the grace to see relational troubles between ourselves and others (including spouses) and do something about them. And that we would continue to take all these troubles and sins to God through Christ by faith, trusting that He will be good to us, and much more than we deserve.
Because however much our enemy is laughing now, He who laughs last laughs longest. So let’s continue to hold up each other, as we trust in the One who will win in the end.
