“That Quick”

We went to the playground today to play with Jackson and Graham.  When we got there, Emma Bruce was leaving with Samuel but they decided to stay and play so we all went down to the playground.  A few minutes later Joshua came up to me and told me he couldn’t breath and I could hear him wheezing.  I had forgotten to bring his inhaler.

I asked Heather and Emma Bruce to help me pray over him so we all laid hands on him and began to pray.  He immediately got better, ran off to play and never said another word about it.

On the way home I asked him what we needed to tell Jesus for fixing his breathing.  He said to tell him thank you and so we did.  Then he said “what did God use to fix it momma?” So I told him God used his power to fix it.  He then said:

“Wow, I can’t believe He used his power that quick on me!”

I’ve been thinking about that – how true that statement is.  Sometimes I have a hard time believing God would use his power “that quick” – whether it be for healing, provision, relationships, whatever the case may be.  Sometimes our prayers don’t get answered as quickly, and other times they do, but may we always believe that our Great God can use His power in any way he see’s fit and that yes, it can even come “that quick”!
