Lydia's adoption was finalized today in the Guizhou Center of Adoption Affairs - just a formality on this earth - already taken care of long ago in eternity by her Redeemer - steps required and gladly taken by these vessels of clay!! He had already marked our path; we just followed with fear and trembling.
"My steps have held closely to Your paths (to the tracks of the One Who has gone on before); my feet have not slipped." Psalm 17:6 (Amplified)
"Let all the earth fear the Lord (revere and worship Him)); let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him." Psalm 33:8 (Amplified)
We not only stand in awe of Him; we bow in awe of Him!! As we said before with Bethany's adoption, "God already took care of it all; we just showed up." We have watched Him work with Holy Precision and have beheld His Glory!!
HIS PRESENCE AND POWER IS SO VERY STRONG IN THE ADOPTION PROCESS; HE IS IN CHARGE AND IN CONTROL!!
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)." Psalm 91:1 (Amplified)
It's worth every tear and every fear to feel His presence so strongly and to watch Him accomplish His purpose on His earth. I am so thankful that He allows us to participate in His work, so we can see and know what a MIGHTY GOD we serve!!
Lydia makes "4", and we give HIM praise!!!
