Though the Lord is high, yet he has respect to every lowly, humbled sinner; but the proud and unbelieving will be banished far from his blissful presence. Divine consolations have enough in them to revive us, even when we walk in the midst of troubles.

And God will save his own people that they may be revived by the Holy Spirit, the Giver of life and holiness.

If we give to God the glory of his mercy, we may take to ourselves the comfort. This confidence will not do away, but quicken prayer.

Whatever good there is in us, it is God works in us both to will and to do. The Lord will perfect the salvation of every true believer, and he will never forsake those whom he has created anew in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Please Pray

Have you ever wondered how you would react if your family was faced with news that would forever change your life? Would your faith hold strong? Would your trust be in God? Would you deal with each and every step of the journey with dignity, grace and belief in God's promises?
There is a family - a part of our church family - who was dealt such news earlier this year. I've posted about them before - the Rigg's family, who have a three year old daughter diagnosed with Leukemia. They are a family that is loving, dedicated and with an amazing faith in the Lord. Through all of this journey with Abby, they are an inspiration to everyone they come in contact with.
They have recently been given news that Abby has only about a 20% survival rate. They also know that this news comes from man and not from God. They have put their trust and Abby in God's hands. I am touched by their faithfulness every time I receive a new message about Abby and each and every time I read Brent's or Michelle's blogs.
I would ask that you take a moment to visit them at . . . Where Laughter Lives, and pray for Abby and for this family. Brent has made a video tribute to Abby and you can see it here. I know that this family will touch your heart as they have mine.

In His Love and Blessings
