My brother Greg has experienced God's hand is stopping his internal bleeding, and providing him with a highly skilled vascular surgeon who was able to seal the two nicks in Greg's superior mesenteric artery through laparoscopic surgery. Greg needs continued prayers that the blood thinner he needs to maintain his mechanical heart valve will reach the right levels, and that he will gain physical, emotional, and spiritual strength as the days go on.
I shared with Greg the February 16th selection from Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost for His Highest." Chambers words are what we all need to realize: "God does not give us an overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome." The power of life comes from God, but we need to continue to reach out to him--for life not merely now, but for eternal life.
