God's Sovereignty
"A man's heart devises his way: but the Lord directs his steps." Prov. 16:9
"The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord." Prov. 16:33

Yesterday brought a huge blessing and answer to prayer. Malcom has been visiting Michael at the hospital daily. Yesterday Mike bowed his head and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. We praise the Lord that in His sovereignty we became friends with this young man and have had the opportunity to direct his heart toward God. He needs continued prayer especially for physical healing as the leukemia is once again active in his body.

Thinking back on all that has transpired the last few months, I can see the hand of God directing and working His purposes. In Malcom's case and Michael's too, the doctors really just do what they can hoping that something will work. In the final analysis, it is God that uses feeble human effort to accomplish His plan. I think about the multitude of nutritional supplements available now...it's almost impossible to know which one to choose. Yet we made a choice and it seems to be helping. We cannot give the glory to one doctor, one particular medicine, or one brand of supplements. The glory is to the Lord who is sovereign over all.

I worship You almighty God, there is none like You
I worship You Oh Prince of Peace, that is what I want to do
I give you praise for You are my righteousness
I worship You almighty God, there is none like You!

Malcom has finished receiving the 7th chemo treatment. The side effects of neuropathy (sensitivity to cold) and the mouth/throat infection are especially bothersome this time. With the onset of the bitter cold winter season, we ask prayers for patience, endurance, and protection from viruses and flu.
