The Lord...heals ALL your diseases...

This morning my Psalm reading was 103. Verses 2-5 jumped out at me.

"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits- who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."

First, we are continuing to praise the Lord for his goodness, and now for the remission he has afforded. We want to continue to remember all his benefits, all the good things that he gives us, some of which can be a bit painful at times, but which work good things for those who love him.

Secondly, it says, "HEALS ALL your diseases." MM may be incurable by man's hands and wisdom, but nothing is too hard for the Lord. We believe that divine intervention took place on July 25th that has accelerated her recovery by weeks, as her body works to get rid of all the toxins and garbage left by the cancer. We will work hard to keep her blood Ph on the alkaline side so that MM will not come back. Please keep praying for the two compression fractures in her spine to heal quickly and even more, that divine intervention will restore her spine and other bones to their pre-cancer days in such a way that the Hematologist confesses that Jesus is Lord. Pray for him and his staff to open their eyes and hearts to the Lord.

Thirdly, we feel that Deb's life has been redeemed from the pit of coming death, first on June 26 with 2 units of blood, and now with remission.

Fourth, we have been crowned (though undeservedly, but by His grace) with lots of love and compassion demonstrated thru so many of your hands.

Fifth, we have had a number of our desires satisfied thru this ordeal with good things that we had long prayed for, but never expected them to come by means of illness.

Finally, we pray and trust that her youth will be renewed (healing in her back and bones) so that she can get back to normal pain free movement and living.

God bless,
Duane
