God's Faithfulness is a Shield and Rampart

A lot of things have happened in my personal life, in my marriage life. My husband and I were tried and tested, and I should say that we overcame and emerged as victors. It's not because we are able-bodied warriors but because the Lord's faithfulness has been and will always be our shield and rampart. Let me tell you a story...

Last night (August 12), I had a dream. I dreamed that my Babe and I were inside a house. It was not a big house, rather just enough for us. Outside the house were lots of trees. We were surrounded with tall trees. Then a great storm came and all the trees around the house were knocked down one by one. A little fear swept over me for I thought about the trees that were in front of the house. They would surely crash our humble abode down. But when I looked at the window, I saw the trees had avoided our house when they fell off. For there was a clearing in front of our house. Suddenly, the word of the Lord was impressed in my heart, God is faithful. When I woke up, I shared this to Babe, my husband. I was then reminded about by a verse in the Bible- "You will only see it with your eyes... A thousand will fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand but it will not come near you..." I got our Bible and looked for it and found it in Psalm 91. At the same time, the song that played on our cassette was, "Forever, God is faithful." I just cried as I read the verse to my husband.

That dream happened just before I underwent an operation. Four days after, on our second monthsary, I was at the The Medical City and underwent D & C operation. We didn't know that I was already 6 weeks pregnant then.

It was unexpected, I didn't know that that will happen but it happened. I realized that this was the storm in my dream but it had not destroyed us, it made us better persons. God's faithfulness has seen us through this trying times. We couldn't have survived it without Him. Indeed, He is a shield and rampart to those whose hearts
are fully committed to Him.
