Monday

“[God] is able to do exceedingly abundantly

above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that works in us.”

~Ephesians 3:20, NKJV~

 

David and I were able to attend the commissioning service at FBC, New Orleans for missionaries about to begin service far from here.  We also were blessed to hear the IMB president, David Platt, speak twice.  My heart was so touched as the young missionaries stood all around the room with their families gathered around them for prayer.  They are in my thoughts this morning. God supplied this verse that seems so appropriate.  Please keep the missionaries and their families in your prayers.  Pray, too, for them to be effective  witnesses for God in their new countries.

 

Please pray for Jill Brister as she has surgery on her neck today.  Pray the surgery is effective in curing the pain Jill has suffered for some time.

Gibby McMillan said the date has been set for Katera’s knee surgery.  She should be hospitalized three days in Baton Rouge.  Pray the surgery goes well and is effective in solving her problem.

Our granddaughter, Peyton Alford, had a concussion last week.  She has stayed at home “resting her brain” all week.  Today, she will go to school for half a day.  If that goes well, she will return to her regular schedule Tuesday.  Thank-you to all who prayed for her and asked for updates on her.

Devotional, Scripture, and a Song

• The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble.                                                                               He cares for those who trust in him.                                                                                                                                                                    ~Nahum 1:7~
• “The Lighthouse”
  • Lyrics – http://www.hymnlyrics.org/newlyrics_t/the_lighthouse.php
  • Origin – http://originofsongs.blogspot.com/2012/07/lighthouse.html  – Wow!  I first heard this song sung by “The Crownsmen” of McComb not long after it was written.  In more recent years, Andy Taylor, has sung it periodically.  I had no idea how it was written until I looked it up just now.  I can hardly wait to tell David!

Thankfulness: Day 9

Today, I’m thankful for Jesus being “The Lighthouse” of my life.  I also appreciate all those who have guided me in my Christian journey.

 

I trust Jesus is your “lighthouse”.  If not, please ask me or some other Christian, how to find the “lighthouse” who can guide all the remaining days of your life and even guide you to an eternity in heaven.
