Yesterday evening Steven was in alot of pain (chest, arms). 20mg of morphine per hr barely managed it, but after 3 doses, he finally went to sleep and slept all night with occasional choking. His breathing was a little different early this morn, but now he's sleeping peacefully. We'll see what the doctor says today.

Our Scripture reading yesterday was totally appropriate (naturally): Ps. 94:12, 13, 17-19, 22. "In the multitude of my [anxious] thoughts within me, your comforts cheer and delight my soul." vs 19.

My spiritual food this morning: 1 Jo 4:22-24
Watchfully obey His orders and [habitually] practise what is pleasing to Him
His orders...
(1)Believe in (put our faith and trust in, adhere to, rely on) the name of His Son Jesus Christ
(2)Love one another, just as He has commanded us
The result...
Receive from Him whatever we ask (because we will be asking what His will is)

Interesting. It's so simple - believe...love. Yet, I was thinking, obedience to these 2 commands wipes out a multitude of sins: worry, fear, lack of faith, emotional outbursts, unkind words, impatience, stealing, murder, and on and on. GOD IS SO WISE!

We can trust His wisdom for today.
