Dear Ones
Hope you wake to sensing the presence of the Lord. We are at the lake and woke to the sounds of nature right outside our windows. We had a wonderful time with family yesterday, games, fellowship and a picnic that ended with rain. We went to sleep with fireworks going off and  slept like a baby.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
Miracles happen every day and some are so obvious to our eyes; others may not be discovered until later when we see how God’s hand changed the outcome in a miraculous way through the prayers of His children. You can probably think of instances in your own life when you knew God sovereignly answered your prayers in a miraculous way. You may also remember a nudging you received to pray specifically for someone, even though you didn’t know why. Later you find that your prayers were needed and also answered in a supernatural way. We all need to be sensitive when the Holy Spirit prompts us for the Lord.

I just happened to find a book given me some time ago called, Food From Ravens by two missionaries from the World Mission Prayer League. I have been acquainted with WMPL since I was a little girl and have prayed for many of the missionaries who have gone out to the mission field through the years. The title of the book refers to God miraculously supplying food for the prophet Elijah (I Kings 17) during a drought when the Lord kept him hidden from wicked King Ahab. The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening and he drank from the book.

I’d like to share a true story that took place in Nepal where a Sunuwar woman named Mauli met the Lord while a patient in the hospital. She couldn’t read at the time but she treasured her Bible. Her son was angry when he heard about her conversion, and told her she had to leave so she went to Kathmandu and lived on a small pension there. Meantime the son, back in the village became very ill and called for witch Doctor. After performing his first ritual he was knocked to the ground and when he tried the second time, again he was knocked to the ground. He chanted only louder and tried a third time when he was knocked down on the floor again. He got up and asked, “There is a Power in this house greater than the power of my gods’-what is it?” The son thought and weakly replied, “It must be the Book- That Christian book my mother lives by.” It didn’t take long before the son went to Kathmandu and found his mother and now she is back living with her son in a village near the hospital, were there is a fellowship of believers.” I am quite sure that mom had been praying all the time in Kathmandu for her son to come to the Lord.

Another day I will tell another true story as each one points to the power of God!

Challenge for today: Ask the Lord to open your spiritual eyes to see His miracles.
Blessings on your holiday weekend and prayers and love, Judy
