This Is The Day That The Lord Has Made Series

The trial, earlier this year, lasted three long weeks and after deliberation, the jury could not reach a unanimous decision and a miss-trial was declared. The District Attorney was still not satisfied. He promised he would bring this case in front of another jury and a trial date was set for the end of October.

Meanwhile, over the past two years you can imagine how much money was spent in support of our daughter-in-law. Everything all of us had, and our resources were rapidly running out. And then our family uncovered more information. Going before the judge in the presence of the District Attorney our attorney presented the information. Some years earlier at a different company, the same CFO was arrested and convicted of 113 counts of felony embezzlement. He served a year and a half in prison and was required to pay back over $400,000 in restitution. After this he was hired by company that our dear daughter-in-law worked for as their CFO, and no one knew a thing. The District Attorney had failed to run a background check on his key witness. Presented with this information and the words from the DA stating it was not the same person because of identity theft, the judge gave both sides two weeks to prove this evidence to be true.

Our investigator was able to find the actual court case and conviction, with proof it was the same person. We still were unsure of the DA’s strategy at this point. On Friday we were back in court. Standing before the judge, she and her attorney, the DA and his investigator, the District Attorney literally whispered, “Your honor, the people would like to dismiss this case.”

I think about the years involved, the wrongful termination, her name and integrity compromised and slandered the fear of spending time in prison all because of lies, away from her husband and wonderful children. And yet, none of us questioned our faith in God, in fact we leaned on Him the most.

How many times did we pray together that God would give them the strength to carry through? How many times did we feel God’s Holy Spirit in that Superior Courtroom. Prayer helped us through. “From my distress I called upon the Lord and He answered me and set be in a large place.” And freedom is sometimes as large as we could possibly want or need. Before we went into the court building, we prayed together, asking that God would give us a miracle. And in less than an hour later God gave us that miracle and the strength to carry on. There were seven of us in the courtroom praying. And after the dismissal, the only sounds that could be heard were tears of joy and tears of gratitude.

Later that night, their house was filled with family and friends. We held hands in prayer and thanked God for His lovingkindness and mercy.

I asked for my daughter in-law’s permission to share this very personal and private ordeal with you all. And she said, “I would like my church family to know." She continued, “I just want everyone to know that all praise goes to our Lord for this victory. I don’t want any credit at all, it all belongs to Him. The support and love from all of our families and friends was all the difference in this battle. You said, If He brings you to it, He’ll bring you through it. Those words kept me fighting. With love from her and from us, we are humble.

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone. He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on. Raised in His power the weak become strong. His strength is perfect. His strength is perfect.
