| It's Not What It Looks Like Romans 4:20-21 (King James Version) 20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. In the last couple of months, I have seen my mother go through changes in her body. She has had unexplained swelling in her face, hands and legs. The doctors couldn't offer a definite reason for it. In March, she was supposed to have same day surgery to repair her Achilles tendon. The doctor was unable to operate due to elevated blood pressure, she may have had a stroke if he did. But God...so her doctor put her leg in a cast. She spent about a month away from home, in the hospital and then a nursing home. She never stopped praising God, encouraging others, or coming to church. She did all of this from a wheelchair. On Resurrection Sunday(Easter), the enemy attacked her again and she went back into the hospital. Last month, after her cast was removed she fell. She fractured her back in several places. She is in a lot of pain. Last week, the woman of God went to Georgia to encourage her son and daughter in the gospel. While in Georgia, she fell on her wrist. Ain't nobody mad but the devil! Like Jesus, Mommy never said a mumbling word. One of her favorite songs is " I Won't Complain". She preached a sermon in January 2007called N.O.W Faith... Notorious, Outrageous Worship. I pray that her testimony blesses you, as it has blessed me. Whatever your test is, remember the words of this great woman of God..."It's not what it looks like". Stop right now and give God a crazy praise!!!! God Bless! |
2 Timothy 2:21- Amplified Bible 21So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
