Let God be magnified
"Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee: and let such as love (desire) Thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified." Psalm 70:4
Psalm 70 is only five verses long. It really is an urgent prayer from the lips of David as he begs God to "make haste to deliver me!" In fact, he repeats this 4 times. From the context we know that he is being pursued by enemies who desire to hurt him. He declares his own inability to help himself saying, "I am poor and needy...Thou art my help and my deliverer." Verse four reveals the purpose: that God may be magnified.
I think it's appropriate to equate the way David felt then with Malcom's situation. There is an urgency in our prayers to God for His haste in delivering Malcom from the enemy--cancer. There is only so much that man can do, we are all poor and needy. God is our help and deliverer. As we seek His salvation, let us continually say, "Let God be magnified!"
Malcom began his second week of daily radiation treatments today. I'm happy to say that he is feeling much better, even able to walk without the assistance of a cane. He isn't needing as much pain medication either, so the doctor was pleased with the progress. This Wednesday he will have another chemo treatment as well.
Thank you for joining us in prayer for God's healing and most of all that in everything God will be magnified.

Please pray for Papa tonight. It is about 10pm and he is currently at the St. John's ER. He started feeling a little "weird" so Mom checked his blood pressure and pulse and discovered that he had a racing pulse. We all felt it would be best to have him checked out and sure enough he was in atrial flutter. They are treating him with meds to control his heart rate and fluids to support his blood pressure. He will most likely be admitted for observation. Your prayers are appreciated!
I am praying
Bea
Continuing to pray.
Love,
Missy
