God is faithful

Thanks for all the prayers. Dad's heart is healthy and he is at home recovering from the angiogram. The doctor did not find any blockage even though the stress test led them to believe there was. All I can say is God is good and in control!

People Came to Jesus

(Mark 1:45 NLT) "But the man went and spread the word, proclaiming to everyone what had happened. As a result, large crowds soon surrounded Jesus, and He couldn't publicly enter a town anywhere. He had to stay out in the secluded places, but people from everywhere kept coming to Him."

As Jesus met the needs of the people and fed them spiritual bread, which they have been starving for they began to surround him. We have many needs today and Jesus is willing to meet those needs just as He did for this man with leprosy but all too often we keep it quiet maybe because we are unsure of what we have been given. The enemy will try to rob us of the joy that is ours through Christ Jesus and cause us to doubt His love for us but that is where faith comes in. As we read His Word, pray, and find life in Him our hearts will naturally fill up with joy, so much so that like this man we just can't keep quiet about what He has done for us.

I am taking my mom to Christ Hospital this morning because my dad is scheduled to have angioplasty and possibly a stent placed in his heart. God I know you are able to heal my dad, if you are willing. Bring peace to my mom as we wait for the doctors and nurses to do their work, we thank you for the skills you have given them but it is in You that we place our trust. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
