IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2010
FOR PRAYER AND PRAISE:
Mon, September 6, 2010 5:50:53 PM Three Cheers for Jackson; report from Melinda: Yahooo! Late this afternoon Jackson took 1-1/2 ozs. of milk…and so far he is keeping it down. His Granny Betty went down and held him today. Keep praying for the miracle we need; look how far he has come, thanks to all of you, and all the others, who keep him in constant prayer. Hope to get a picture on sometime soon. He’s a beautiful boy. With many thanks, and much gratitude, Melinda

Well, ya’ll, Labor Day 2010 is coming to a close. We’ve enjoyed the day. For one thing went to the Movies and saw What If. My Friends, that is an excellent movie. Go see it before it’s gone, if it’s near you. Only place in Mobile County to see it is the Hollywood Theater on Satchel Page Drive. It’s worth the money and the time.
Here’s a link to view a trailer. What If! I’m ready to see it again!
So what did ya’ll do to celebrate Labor Day? Any takers on sharing with me?
So, now that Labor Day is done, is Summer done too? Do we really have to put away our white shoes? Okay. Before I get too silly here — What’s The LORD speaking to you? What’s it time for you to do?
What’s He speaking to you to do with the remainder of 2010? With the remainder of your life? With today, The First Day of the Rest of Your Life, and following?
While my beloved and I were sitting on a bench at Steele Creek enjoying the last rays of Monday’s light, we talked about the rest of our lives. We said life is not meant to be lived accidentally but rather on purpose. We think we live too much accidentally, not enough on purpose, yet. I proposed a meeting with ABBA. A meeting to ask Him for plans. His plans for us as to actions, ministry, fun, saving, spending, sharing, giving, helping, etc. etc. We are certain He was listening as when we got into the truck a tape of one of Adrian Rogers’ sermons was being re-broadcast. And what was it about? The very thing we had spoken about as we were walking to the truck. Yes. He listens! And He confirms! And I so love it when He does… it’s one of the ways I feel His love for me. You too?
So how do you meet with God as a family? A couple? Or single? How do you discern His plans for you to live this life on purpose and not accidentally? I’d love for you to share. You may share privately by email or comment publicly at the Blog. As always, there’s no obligation — but your comments, observations and questions are welcomed!
Jeremiah 29 NASB11‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
Psalm 33: NASB 11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
Proverbs 16: NASB 3 Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be established.
ABBA, would You take this writing and minister it to our IDOKs – to comfort and encourage them? Would You impress upon us Your Plans for us to live our days on purpose, on point for YOU, for Your Kingdom, for Eternity sake? Thank You.
Bob comes to mind. Mrs. Martha’s memorial service is set for tomorrow. I pray it will be a time of celebrating and a time of witness to any lost family and friends who might attend … that it’s time to make the most of the time we have here. Not just so we can live a good life here but so we can prepare for a GREAT Eternity and help prepare others, as many as possible, to come along with us to the HOME You are preparing for us.
I really am delighted with this movie we saw and I pray You will use it to get the attention of others. I pray souls will be saved as they view this film. i really am glad it was made and I pray the rewards are so sweet others will be made too.
Thank You for what You are doing with Jackson and his family. We pray he will yet be completely healed and that all his life he will honor and exalt You. We pray for his parents and family, for peace and rest.
We pray for our IDOK Troops for safety, for protection and safe returns home for each of them. We pray for America that we as a people will yet repent and be saved. And for our Praying for These list, strength equal to their days and hope enough to weather every storm and though it all to give You glory. Thank You for every answered prayer. Amen and amen in JESUS NAME.
