GOD IS ALWAYS ENLARGING US

Psalm 4:1: “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast ENLARGED ME WHEN I WAS IN DISTRESS: have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.”

We have recently faced much pressure as a family with two of our grandsons from the same family (the Allisons) being in the same hospital. There has been lots of driving back and forth to the hospital (one and a half hours away). Arden is now diagnosed at stage 3 or 4, but we continue to believe that our loving heavenly Father will give him a miracle of healing.

We are assured that not only are our sins atoned for at the cross of Christ, but also “by his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5 and Matthew 8:16, 17).

Isaiah, who had the terrible car crash and was diagnosed with major brain injury is wide awake, sitting up in a chair, talking perfectly, moving all his limbs, and pushing the staff to let him start walking. He is only in his third week. He is an unbelievable miracle.

And then, at about 5.30 pm last night our niece Melissa’s husband (who lives next to us) was involved in a head on collision coming home from work. We could hardly believe we were facing another attack. But God is so good. We thank God for His great mercies. Cal survived and has no serious injuries, but the other driver was air-lifted to Vanderbilt (but have heard that he will be okay). Both vehicles were completely crushed and passersby could not believe their would be any survivors.

Despite all the negatives, I am amazed how God lifts up our spirits during our nightly prayer and worship meetings. I am not sure we would cope the same without them. It is truly amazing.

Be encouraged.
