As you pray - 16 June 2007

Considering the state of my health in the last seven years it is indeed a miracle that I reached the 50-year milestone yesterday. My heart is full of gratitude and praise to my Lord and my God whose hand is good to me. Only He has the full picture of the path that I am walking. My eyes are on Him.

Thank you very much for all the birthday greetings, prayers and presents. Much appreciated.

The excessive salivation war is on. Most probably I shall have to go back to Parklands Hospital for further treatment. Pray with us for divine guidance in the critical decisions that have to be taken for the way forward.

Gideon Jacobs requests your prayers; he has to take three services in Uitenhage, Eastern Cape, today.

Recently I was shocked and saddened by statements that were made by one of the leaders of the unions that are part of the now two-week old strike in South Africa. He said the strike would carry on till Jesus returns if the government does not meet their demands. And then he added that even if Jesus did return the strike would carry on.

Such arrogant blasphemous utterances remind one of our Lord's prayer on the cross,

"Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

Have a blessed weekend.
 
Pressing on!
 
In His love
