Ponder Anew

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I reflect on a powerful moment at home: while a news anchor questioned God’s goodness in the face of tragedy, my wife Gracie—still recovering from her 98th surgery—shouted a truth she learned from our friend Joni Eareckson Tada that’s sustained us for decades:
“He allows what He hates to achieve what He loves.”
We explored how that statement ties into the doctrine of divine concurrence, how caregivers experience fear, guilt, and resentment, and how well-meaning but poor theology—especially in some corners of the church—can make things worse. I asked a pointed question I’ve carried for years: Why do faith healers wear glasses?
We also continued our hymn series with “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,” focusing on the line: “Ponder anew what the Almighty will do.” That phrase has become more than poetry—it’s a daily touchstone for those of us facing hard realities.
I closed with an update on our prosthetic limb outreach in West Africa, how Gracie’s vision continues to help others walk, and how you can be a part of it.
If you’re weary or uncertain, this episode is a reminder: Ponder anew what the Almighty will do.
