“Then Jesus went to all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues,
preaching the good news of the kingdom,
and healing every disease and every sickness.’”
~Matthew 9:35, HCSB~
Frank Smith
Just an update on Frank. He is doing better and will try to go back to work tomorrow. Thanks so much for the prayers.
Sue
Andy Taylor
Andy’s doctor wants him to wait another month before removing the bandages that support his right arm. Pray that Andy’s arm will heal completely.
Debi Bales mother
Continue to pray for Debi Bales mother and for Debi as she spends part of each day caring for her mother. Thank God for the doctors who have guided the family in caring for her,
Continue to pray for the numerous people who have tests or surgery today. I already listed them for you, but you can refer back to older posts. I pray for the reports that are given after the tests to be good and for the people to be able to honor God as He guides them through medical issues.
I think the following devotional is perfect for today because so many have important medical days scheduled. I also think it is meaningful because none of us know what what’s ahead this year, month, weeks, day, or hour. Read carefully and take the devotional to heart so it will be with you when you need it.
Heart to Heart with Holley: Whatever you may face
I’m thinking of you today, staring at that calendar of blank days on your wall or your screen. What will they hold? I’m not sure but I do know this—there’s One who will hold you through them all.
Our world seems to be in love with uncertainty right now. But there’s One who loves you and dares to whisper, “No matter what, you will be okay. More than okay—you’ll be victorious.”
Maybe you see some challenges you’re not sure you can handle. Maybe you’re standing just outside your comfort zone and wondering what in the world you’re doing here.
So let me whisper that there’s nothing in heaven that won’t be yours if you need it. And God has made you all you need to be to complete his perfectly planned to-do list for you.
And you’re beautiful. Just as you are. Not because of what people see when they look in your face but because of what God sees when he looks at your heart. A child of his who is willing to trust, to live with courage, to give him all of your days.
2012 is going to be a good year for you. Maybe not easy. Maybe not what you expected. Maybe more than you think you can handle. But somehow, someway you’re going to look back and say, “Whew, God was there and He’s good.”
So keep me posted, okay? I want to know what’s happening with you this year.
Love,
Holley
I had the hardest year of my life last year, but God was with me all the way. I’m okay about all that happened. You will be able to say that too if you hold tight to His hand on the journey of your life.
