A time of trust

Thanks for the e-mails of support, my friends. Jill seems to be doing much better. I'm writing this Monday morning (6:30 a.m.) so I do not know how Jill is doing since she's still asleep. The latter part of yesterday was uneventful, with Jill getting up and eating a bit before heading back to bed. She was able to sit up and talk with me for awhile, but

mostly she's been getting rest. Please pray that we get to see the needed specialist today. Please pray that discouragement not set in. We've been watching Jill battle this for years, and just when we seem to see some light, darkness sets in again.

When things like this occur, it really puts our lives in perspective. In view of concern for the health of a loved one, each family member's thoguhts become more focused on dependency on the Lord. I pray that Jill will have a strong recovery and that in the process, I might see Jesus more clearly and trust in Him.

Psa 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Jer 39:18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

We often think of great faith as something that happens spontaneously so that we can be used for a miracle or healing. However, the greatest faith of all, and the most effective, is to live day by day trusting Him. It is trusting Him so much that we look at every problem as an opportunity to see His work in our life. It is not worrying, but rather trusting and abiding in the peace of God that will crush anything that Satan tries to do to us. If the Lord created the world out of chaos, He can easily deal with any problem that we have. - Rick Joyner
