While I was out for a haircut and picking up hoses for Jacob’s respirators, Barb called me in a panic. Jacob had developed a dangerous mucus plug, and his inspiratory pressure was skyrocketing. He was in real trouble.
But Barb—calm, faithful, and courageous—remembered her training. She grabbed the Ambu bag, freed the obstruction, and brought Jacob back to safety. She is our HERO today. What she did was no small thing… it was an emergency that would overwhelm most people, yet she handled it with grace and strength. I could not be more proud of my amazing wife.
Tonight, before bed, I read Jacob our Bible Verse of the Day. The Spirit nudged me to read the whole passage, and it spoke directly into this moment:
Isaiah 43:1–3 (NLT)
“But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed you says,
Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...”
Sometimes, God’s Word arrives exactly when we need it most.
