2 Cor 5 I would rather be absent from the body and present with the Lord...
Yes thats where I want to be.......and thats where Jake is! He knew his citizenship was in heaven not here and he went to claim it! So brave... so strong....we weep for misssing him but we too would rather be with the Lord!
Prayer: Thank you LORD for for my beautiful son what a gift and now his faith is replaced by sight! In Jesus name Amen!

Psalm 131 Jacob's Psalm
What can I say when you watch your son at the gate of life and death.
Yet God speaks in that still small voice - He belongs to me - can you give him to Me.
In the middle of the storm Jesus walks on water and rescues the boys. That what I feel like
I feel like - Jesus you are so powerful- you swooped us up.
At least 6x they had to paddle his heart last night. The heart surgery was 10 + hours.
His heart was weak and tired and about to give up.
Thats when they opened him up again and he is stable on the bypass machine.
The time inbetween I kept remebering Jake's favorite Psalm 131. I read it to all the staff and doctors in the room.
Lord my HEART IS NOT PROUD.... MY EYE ARE NOT HAUGHTY...I HAVE STILLED AND QUIETED MY SOUL.........
HELP US GOD! I prayed..... and thank You for another day with Jake!
The gate for Jake ...either life with us now ..here... or heaven.
I wondered if he would say ...love you all but I am going to be with Jesus.
Another day...need a miracle...thought of Dorcus as people are praying for Jake. Thought
of Peter as he prayed for a raising from the dead! Thought Lord I am Peter raise my son up.
Last ...my devotional in Mark 14 the last days as the Christ going to the cross coming
the last supper and pray at the Mt of Olives garden. God the Father sent His Son to die and raise from the dead.
I think I undersaynad alittle better today what that means.

Tremble at His WORD
.....But on this one I will look:
on him who is poor and has a contrite spirit
and trembles at my Word.....
Isaiah 66:2
I want the LORD to look .... look at me and look at you.
His attention......His CONSIDERATION....... So I choose to think sober thoughts about who I am compared to the greatness of God. When I start to get prideful .... I tell myself to cut it out in the name of Jesus!
I do not understand teachers like Rob Bell. They act as if they are humble but the exact opposite is true. It seems they know more or something different than what God says in his Word. There is no fear of the LORD , no fear of His awesome power and no respect for His WORD.
Avoid such men.... would be the great apostle's advice.
On the other hand I have had the experience of being with those humble servants who take HIS WORD seriously. I love them because all they want to talk about is Jesus.
I spoke with a mom today who told me one of her twin sons in my tues Bible class told her recently, "MOM I want to read the Bible more.... I am praying God would give me a love for his Word!" That young boy will go far in His relationship with Christ!
A contrite spirit, a poor and broken spirit is one who knows the depth of his own sin and knows he deserves to never enter the Kings presence.
BUT GOD who is rich in Mercy made the way for all such humble broken men to come to Him . The Cross of Jesus and the new life He offers is only for those who are poor and contrite in spirit and who tremble at His Word. The Christian life is lived in this humility.
Pastor Furrow often tell us on staff at Calvary Tucson to watch out for pride because it will cause us to be consumed by ourselves!
The contrite heart realizes it is what Christ did for us according to HIS WORD
God I choose to stay broken and humble and to stand on your WORD!
Help me to live a life that is Spirit led and takes your Word seriously.
