I will ever magnify His name, for He is worthy of all praise
as the Rock, the foundation of our being, our healing, our very essence,
Blessed be His name, as He is our provider
in all times and carries us in times when it is difficult to manage
at other times bringing us alongside cool water and to places of rest
whether we are in medical tests which annoy or cause pain such as today
He will be the comforter
and when we have glass in a foot He provides one such as our daughter
to see it in astonishment, remove it, clean the wound and help with
what we cannot feel.

We are each blessed, and I am to overflowing
with friends who care deeply especially here within NT and at home,
even my brother calls to ask "how are you?"

Then the deceiver brings tests such as in our well meant departure from a rental, where the property has had a spy who reports untruth and stirs up the vexation of our landlord...... so I feel led to deliver truth to the deceiver
and last night she storms into a conversation between my bride and I with kind neighbors who are helping the remainder of the cleaning to occur. We feel so blessed by good friends, for I cannot do anything physical due to pain, but it is done.

I challenged the deceiver with truth, TRUTH about her disruptive conduct, and she was scarce able to stand up, for in the face of truth, she could not handle knowing the reality of the snaring web woven by our landlord who could not or would not rely upon her professional property manager, so she wove wiles of deceit in sweet conversation pulling neighbor against neighbor to gain the benefit of spies. Oh how sweet it is to be free from the web, to be enabled to call out the deceiver in truth for his use of simple people to do harm. Last night sitting in pain in my car, I merely smiled at the ugliness and rage spouted by one caught in her acts as a proponent of damaging words, ugly statements, and efforts to harm. She spoke of feeling upset and I had not been Christian like as I merely spoke truth. Her venomous words were as water sliding from a rock...... then gone. How good to follow God.

So today, the EMG. Tomorrow answers. I type right now with fresh arm, so lengthn this report in order that you know I am supported, and the Lord is alongside in all things. All will be well. I am grateful.

He is my rock,
my defender in times of deceit,
one who calls each of us His beloved,
for we are,
Thank You my Lord in all things,
Amen [Thy will be done]
