Misty and Willow Wednesday Update

Leave a comment

Per Melinda’s update of this morning around 11:00 AM, Misty is getting some at home time, at least for today, and Willow Grace remains safely in her mother’s womb, growing stronger and stronger. Melinda has asked that we pray her one more week inside — that would make her 34 weeks.  For Melinda’s complete update, please click HERE.

Hope you all are having a blessed day. Good here. I had some really good help with cleaning the kitchen floor — Little Girl GRAND did an excellent job,even eagerly volunteered; some laundry; supper in the works and tonight’s choir practice.

Now at some point between now and then — an IDOK.  Your prayers would not be wasted. My love to you all.

Just a handmaiden of the GREAT KING,
Kathie

It’s Tuesday night and I’m pretty well spent for the day but wanted to at least post a Wednesday morning hello.

Numbers 21:New International Version (NIV)
The Bronze Snake
4 They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way;
5 they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!”
6 Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.
7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.
8 The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

First thing with these verses — but the people grew impatient on the way;

And their impatience was a springboard to murmuring, complaining and accusing their Leader and their God.

Impatience is a dangerous flesh fit.  In some cases it’s a real killer.

Isn’t it interesting that for the people of Israel to live they had to look upon the very image that was killing them?

Perhaps we would do well to look our impatience (or whatever sin that is so easily besetting us — Hebrews 12:1) in the face, see it for the fiery serpent it is and call out to JESUS, saying even as the Israelites did: “We sinned … “.

We can be sure He will forgive us and empower us to live.

I think I shall retire for the night on that, knowing that He is able to do even more than I can think or ask (Ephesians 3:20).  Perhaps these thoughts will lighten your Wednesday.  What a blessing that would be to both of us!!

ABBA, thank You.  Thank You for promised rest to our weary frames and power to overcome our flesh, the world and Satan. I pray for our IDOKs each and every one at each of their whereabouts for each to abide in Your peace, comfort, wisdom, and an ever-increasing hunger and thirst to KNOW You. We are mindful of many needs and we entrust them to You in JESUS Name. Amen and amen.

Blessed to be a handmaiden of the LORD,
Kathie

Psalm 103 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits–
3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases,
4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide, neither will He keep His anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him.
14For He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children’s children,
18 to such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath prepared His throne in the heavens, and His Kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye His angels that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye His hosts, ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all His works, in all places of His dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

The more we bless the LORD the more we KNOW we matter!!

Honored to be one of the LORD’s handmaidens,

We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
