IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2010

FOR PRAYER AND PRAISE:

Thursday morning report on Jackson: Good morning to all!  Yesterday Jackson got the line in his belly button removed and Ashley not only got to hold him but to dress him in an outfit and change his diaper.  How happy the smallest, normal thing can make a mama.  He is still on room air oxygen and has other wires but the parents get to hold him more now.  The nurse has to hand him to them but they can have him in their arms.  Steve says that they are going to request another vision/hearing test.  Jackson flinched when the nurse made a noise when she hit one of the machine arms yesterday.  He still squints in the light when it shines in his face.  We will wait and see and let God and his little body do the rest.  Praying for miracles; knowing the Lord can provide them; leaning on Him, Melinda

John Maxwell said: “There are a lot of things in life that are difficult to understand. Faith allows the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see.”

(HCSB)Isaiah 7:⁹ . . .   If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.

Acts 26: (New American Standard Bible) ¹⁶‘But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you;

I’m not Paul and I dare say none of you are either but surely these Passages are speaking to someone this morning.

What if with every hard and difficult ‘gift’ that comes into our lives, what if we by faith took a stand and would allow ourselves to  believe and apply: for this purpose I have appeared to you (I have allowed this to come to you) to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you?

If you will share your thoughts.

I am quiet and sober here, ABBA, so much so that I really don’t want to disturb what You are speaking to our hearts now.  Holy Spirit do all as You will in JESUS NAME.
