IDOK DEVOTION FOR THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 2010

Praise Reports, Prayer Requests and Updates:

I read via email late Wednesday that another saint went home yesterday.  Pray for the Greg Holden Family.  Greg was a Cub Scout Leader in the Kennesaw, Georgia area who won his battle with cancer yesterday by going HOME.   And I ask you to continue to pray for the Dan Smith Family as they say their temporary goodbyes to Helen this weekend and Monday.

Psalm 116: (New King James Version)
¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His saints.
¹⁶ O LORD, truly I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant;
You have loosed my bonds.

And our bonds to this earth are tight and many and yet when DADDY GOD says come HOME, in a moment those bonds are loosed and we are there.  And for those who remain only HE can comfort and heal the wounds the severing causes.   God and Time heals.  Newsong sings a song God and Time and perhaps at the right time the message of this song will find its way to our grieving families.

ABBA, You know the pain better than anyone, even better than ourselves and I am asking You to comfort both of these families from whom You have lifted a loved one.  We do not understand and we so wanted them well here but thank You they are well there with You.

We pray for continue safety and protection for our IDOK Troops and blessings and helps and healing for our list of family and friends.  I pray for the peace of Israel.  I pray You would put a cap on that oil well spewing in the Gulf and that a remedy for cleaning will be implemented and the damage will be contained.  I know You well enough to know that You have a plan and for those who trust You will bless even in this mess.  Thank You, ABBA, in the Name of JESUS our Savior and LORD.  Amen and amen.
