I want to thank each of you for your responses to my “Cancer-Free” information from my Oncologist. I will have another SCAN in six months with her and another appt. with my Surgeon at the 6 month interval.

I feel very fortunate to have received the reports from my surgeon and my oncologist.

After the next appointments with both doctors the time will move forward to once a year.

My LORD has been in my corner throughout all the procedures since cancer was first diagnosed in November of ‘11. He has guided my doctors through all the processes.

I will Praise Him Forever!!!

DD and Family.

Two Victories
November 7, 2013

King David was up against a familiar foe. Years before as a young shepherd boy, he had faced down Goliath, the top Philistine warrior, by killing him with a well-placed stone (1 Sam. 17). Now David was king of Israel, and here come the Philistines again! They heard he was king, and they decided to attack (2 Sam. 5:17).

What do we do first when trouble is on the way? We could panic. We could plan. Or we could first do what David did—pray. “David inquired of the Lord” (v.19), and God guided the king.

David had to fight two battles with the Philistines—one at Baal Perazim and one at the Valley of Rephaim. It was a good thing he consulted God, because in these two battles there were two different strategies. In the first one, God won the battle with His power alone: “The Lord has broken through,” David recorded (v.20). For the next one, God gave David an action plan, and when he carried it out, the Israelites won (vv.23-25).

Each day we face many challenges. Although there is no one-size-fits-all answer, our first action should always be to consult God. As He guides us, we can have confidence in Him. Then, whether the victory comes through His miraculous intervention or through His guidance, all the glory goes to God.

Not to the strong is the battle,
Not to the swift is the race;
Yet to the true and the faithful
Victory is promised through grace. —Crosby

To stand up to any challenge, spend time on your knees.

Read: 2 Samuel 5:17-25

David inquired of the Lord. —2 Samuel 5:19

Bible in a Year:
Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 4

From my Facebook page:

Day Seven of Thankfulness:
I am so thankful to God and proud of my (and my hubby's) son who had brought us joy and love all his life. He has always been focused on the goal set for him by God. Graduated from A & M, joined the Air Force right after he graduated and is now, after nearly 20 years (and about to retire!), a Master Sergeant. He married just the right woman, whom I love, too, and they have two beautiful and darling little girls. He IS my hero! Love you my son!

Happy Thankful Thursday, y'all! :)
