Some people may be wondering what in the world they have to be thankful for this year…2020.  A strange year indeed.  It seems as if bad news is permeating our country.  Sometimes I wonder why I just keep getting up every day and going about my daily business of doing what I do each day.  Why am I not in panic mode?

The answer is simple…”My Hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness.”

I have that hope, but it doesn’t mean that bad things aren’t happening all around.  In fact, last night I told someone that I felt like Jacob because I wrestled with God all night long.  (I’m glad he didn’t make me lame…I have enough trouble walking as it is!)  I prayed and cried and begged the Lord to heal a dear dear friend of mine who found out yesterday that she has a malignant tumor. She has young children and a husband who love her dearly and whom she loves.

Her response to the news?  She is  praying that her family will be a witness to everyone because of the way they are handling this devastating news.  Above all else she wants to glorify her Lord.  She wishes it weren’t happening of course.  So do I.  I would give anything if this had not happened.  But with my friend, I am praying that above all, HE will be honored.  

I am praying for healing.  I am expecting healing.  I stand with Shadrach, Mechach and Abednego in the old Testament who were thrown into a fiery furnace  because they wouldn’t bow down to a false god.  I believe my God is able to save….BUT IF NOT…I am still going to serve Him.

By the way.  God DID save them.  They didn’t even smell like smoke!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  We serve a great God.
