Faith In Percentages

As we shared last week, an ultrasound of our little baby revealed fluid on her brain that may point to some chromosomal abnormalities.  After an initial descent into the valley of worry, we got some telephone calls from friends, learned a little more about the actual facts of what the ultrasound showed, prayed, and set our hope on God.

Or did we?

I’d like to think I did, but deep inside, I wonder if I’m actually putting my hope in some percentages that came with the “actual facts”.  After learning that our baby daughter had indicators of possible chromosomal abnormalities, here were a couple of the percentages that came as “good news” to my ears:

90% of the choroid plexus cysts (CPC) manifested in fetuses between 16-24 weeks are dissolved by week 26.

Only 5% of babies with no other indicators in the ultrasound (which was the case for our daughter), such as a clenched fist or malformed organs end up developing a genetic disorder such as Trisomy 18 or 21.

I’m so thankful for tests and statistics, which help paint a closer picture of reality than our minds often do.  Yet, I feel the pull inside to have more tests…to know more information…to find peace from them.

That’s where Sonja and I found ourselves this week.  Yet, we wanted to rest in something even greater than these tests, statistics, and percentages.  As we sought the LORD, He gave us some other percentages to consider: Buy Zoloft online

100% of all babies are known by God before the womb (Jeremiah 1:5).

100% of all babies are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).

100% of all babies are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26).

100% of all babies are knit together in the womb by God (Psalm 139:13).

100% of all children are a gift from the LORD (Psalm 127:3)

In 100% of all events, situations, or happenings, no matter how catastrophic or minuscule, God works for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).

So tomorrow, we head into another doctor’s office.  We’re not sure what awaits us there, whether the doctor will recommend more ultrasound tests or not, but we do know this, we want to rest in those one hundred percent promises.

    Praise God for the assurance gained through His revealed Word! I’m praying that you will both “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him” and then you will rejoice as you watch Him “make your paths straight.”
