Day 268




James 2:17-20 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

David continues to make slow (very, very slow) improvement - for which, we are very thankful and give praise to our Risen Savior. The myofascial release therapy continues to amaze us - he is often bent sideways so much that you cannot put one finger between his hip bone and his lowest rib. After the therapy you can put your whole hand between his hip and lowest rib. We are looking forward to getting him admitted to Roger C. Peace Rehab in the next few weeks - please pray that our Lord would remove roadblocks and that the time there will be helpful for David. We are also hopeful that his eye reconstruction will be completed in the next few weeks. We hope to make significant progress in our home renovations soon - pray to that end please. Pray for David's Spiritual encouragement and for his growth in grace. Pray specifically that he would be able to recall Scriptural truth and that would encourage him. Pray for us - for perseverance and patience and gratitude.

Jude 1:20-25 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. And have mercy on some, who are doubting; save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
