IDOK DEVOTION FOR MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2009

It’s Spring Break for Baldwin and Mobile Countries but tax season isn’t over just yet so we are blessed with 3 overnighters for a few nights. Hopefully, writing time for IDOKs will not be too impaired.

I’ve been teary a few times today (Resurrection Sunday) … Good tears. Tears of gratitude. At sunrise service we sang He Arose. One of my favorites. Up from the grave He arose triumphant over His foes. Http://www.hymnsite.com/lyrics/umh322.sht

This was my first Easter with my Momma in Heaven and me still here. I missed her but as best I could I imagined her seeing the risen Savior more clearly than I have yet to see Him. To be sure we have been introduced and I am intimately acquainted with Him but not like those there in Heaven with Him.

Revelation 19:

1After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!

Saturday’s update on Chandler:

I know this is a busy weekend but I wanted you to know that, 24 hours after Chandler’s surgery, he is able to walk, talk, eat and go to the potty. This afternoon, he is making the 4 ½ hour trip to Mobile.

To God be the glory. The rest of Chandler’s story hasn’t been written yet, but it is gonna be all good. Thanks for your prayers and your willingness to pray for this young man you don’t even know.

ABBA, thank You for the sunshine and blue skies that covered Friday, Saturday and Sunday and now this morning for the rain that has come. Thank You for safety of travel for those that mean so much to us. Thank You for this miracle report of Chandler. You have delighted us. Thank You. And we pray for his continued recovery and LORD I renew my request that he will preach Your Gospel. We pray too this morning for all these listed here; bless them with Your Sweet Presence, meet their needs accordingly to Your Riches in Glory. Please protect our IDOK Troops and return them safely home at the appointed time. We pray for the Peace of Israel and the surrender and/or defeat of all their enemies. We pray for repentance for the people of America; for the refreshing and reviving of Your Church. Convict, correct and fill us with Yourself, LORD. Amen and amen.
