Glorify the Lord in the Fires

The following is from one of our missionaries on deputation, Kevin and Sherri Brooks, going to the state of Utah.  They just recently went through the God taking their baby before He was born.  I do not use the term “lost” the baby because we know where that child is.  This testimony will strengthen and encourage your heart.  You can also go to their web site at www.brooks2utah.org. Thank you Bro. Kevin and Mrs. Sherri for sharing it.  We are praying for you.

We found out on Thursday that we lost the baby. On Friday January 30, we had a regular Dr. visit and everything was going well. We were even able to see the heartbeat.On Wed. Sherri began having some complications and we saw the Dr. on Thur. The ultrasound showed that the baby had not grown since the measurements on Fri. when we saw the heartbeat. We are saddened, but we rejoice that we will meet our child one day. We decided to name the baby Gideon. Thur. on the way home and preparing for the revival services on Thur. night God was working in my heart in a special way.I preached that night on “Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires” Isaiah 24:15. That night God used what had happened in our life to so stir my heart toward Him and moved in the service that night and somewhere between 10-15 souls were saved, and many people in the altar doing business with God. We felt that God used our baby in a way to bring glory to Himself, and so we named him Gideon. “…I am the least in my fathers house.” Judges 6:15 Gideon was the least in his fathers house, but God used him to bring a mighty victory.
