GOD'S ALL SUFFICIENT HAND

Yesterday I wrote a blog called, "When
Pain becomes Victory and Death
becomes Life."

How far in advance does God see and
make prevision for your needs? 

For Rebecca Jones the wife of  Mark Jones,
God was watching over her and
preparing the way months before
Marks accident. 

Kristy Long, who was struggling not
knowing where to send her children
to school the next year, finally chose
a school in Richardson Texas.
After visiting many schools and almost
enrolling in one, but missed the final
meeting for enrollment, she finally
made her choice. This school is
the same school that Rebecca
youngest child, Asher attends.
On the first day back to school
in the fall, Asher will have his best
friend Noah Long at his side
everyday and any time that Rebecca
isn't able to take Asher to and from
school; it's right on Kristy's way.
God is Good!  All the Time!

All the Time!  God is Good!

Only five days has passed since 

Mark left this world and in those five

short days that have seemed an

eternity already to Rebecca and 

her dear children, there has been 

$21,520 raised to assist the family

with their needs.  

Mark believed and repeated often,

God is Good! All the Time!

All the Time, God is Good!

If in this life you change the 

world by your presence and

leaving this life brings more

glory to the heavenly father and 

reaches more souls for Christ than 

staying, than when this life is all 

said and done; how great will the 

crown in glory be that you ran the 

race with the highest honor. While 

running it, you passed to baton

to so many others desiring to run 

the race as you did.  Running it

so many souls would be added to 

the kingdom of heaven. 

Walking the new path will not be

easy each day as this family learns 

that God is the provider, sustainer

and comfort.  Mark left many stepping

stones for them to place their feet 

on and to follow in his path; this 

is exactly what I see this family 

doing, as they venture to live their

lives without his guidance.

Many times instead of drawing out of the

grace, love and mercy account, I have

ran to the fear account and have taken a 

full withdrawal.  The times I ran to the 

Lord for my strength and comfort, he 

always proved himself to be faithful. 

I remember many years ago when 

our son had to have emergency surgery

due to a freak accident.  The doctors x-rayed

his arm but didn't catch he had a hairline 

fracture in the bone on his left arm.  He was

at the same time exposed to the strep 

virus and the strep went straight to the 

bone, requiring two major surgeries

  No insurance, no money, just us sitting 

in the hospital wondering what God's 

plan was going to be to provide.  

Sitting beside Josh's bed one morning 

after his second surgery, his doctor 

walked in and started discussing the 

next thirty days and what would have 

to be done.  Twice a day, shots would 

have to be slowly injected into 

the subclavan that ran tubes straight to 

Josh's heart.  Each dose cost $400.00 each. 

Dr Kerr stopped and said, "You

will need to make plans with the school

for Joshua to be taught from home for the

next thirty days."  This was not an issue,

as I told Dr Kerr that we home schooled 

our children. Instantly he stopped and

said, "I love home school parents." 

He rallied doctor's and pharmacist

together to reduce prices and to bring

assistance that brought our hospital and 

prescription bills down 75 percent of what 

they would have been.  

This is how our doctor proved to us his love 

for the Lord and his love for home 

schooled parents.

God is Good!  All the Time!

All the Time! God is Good!

We may suffer in this life, 

we may have pain and sorrow, 

but this one thing I know, 

if we allow God to use it for

his glory, he will do that very

thing and in the midst of this 

wilderness journey, we will see

the roses bloom, and the springs 

filled with the water flowing from 

the throne of God.  We will see it

is far better to trust than to be 

filled with fear and anxiety. 

God is our refuge and strength, a very 

present help in trouble. Therefore will 

not we fear, though the earth be 

removed, and though the mountains 

be carried into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof roar and 

be troubled, though the mountains 

shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

There is a river, the streams whereof 

shall make glad the city of God, the 

holy place of the tabernacles of the 

most High.  God is in the midst of 

her; she shall not be moved: God 

shall help her, and that right early.

The heathen raged, the kingdoms 

were moved: he uttered his voice, 

the earth melted./  The LORD of 

hosts is with us; the God of Jacob 

is our refuge. Selah.  Come, behold 

the works of the LORD, what 

desolations he hath made in the earth.

He maketh wars to cease unto the end 

of the earth; he breaketh the bow, 

and cutteth the spear in sunder; he 

burneth the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God: 

I will be exalted among the heathen, 

I will be exalted in the earth.

 PSALM 46
