From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing

after another. -- John 1:16

During the last few months, God has made me very aware of His blessings in my life…one after another. In contrast to the darkness and death,

tears and trauma, sorrow and stress, the blessings of God drop like quiet dew…jewels from Heaven’s treasure store.

One of the sweetest blessings God has given was years in the making, but timed perfectly to coincide with my hour of need. It has underscored my faith in the sovereignty of a loving Lord. Almost four years ago my daughter, Morrow, and her husband, Traynor, put their house up for sale. It was on the market for 18 months. There were many open houses and promising showings that resulted in buyers who made offers, only to withdraw them at the last minute. Traynor lowered the price twice. As other houses in their neighborhood sold, the Realtor couldn’t understand why their house didn’t sell. Finally, the decision was made to take it off the market.

This past April, Morrow felt God had spoken to her, telling her to get the house ready and put it back up for sale. Traynor agreed. So with nothing more to go on than their faith in what God had seemed to say to her, they packed up their house, put their things in storage, painted and cleaned once again, refurbished their yard, and in June put it back on the market. With the same Realtor, and the same realty firm. The house sold in less than a week!

They found a rental house that they could move into in August, and in the meantime, were free to come to the beach with the rest of the family for a couple of weeks. While there, before the closing, a significant and rather mysterious leak was discovered under their house that required ripping out much of the master bathroom

What an unexpected blessing, comfort, and joy it has been to have my daughter Morrow, and her husband, Traynor, living with me since the day Danny moved to Our Father’s House. I plan on keeping them for as long as they can be talked into staying!

flooring. The Realtor prepared Morrow and Traynor for what he said was a 99% probability that the buyers would back out. But they didn’t. The sale went through. And of course, Traynor made sure the leak was fixed.

The rental house that had seemed perfect and available after our family beach vacation suddenly was no longer available. So Morrow and Traynor, with smiles on their faces and faith in their hearts, moved into a hotel. Which is where they had been living for ten days when I found my husband of forty-nine years unresponsive in our pool. That very afternoon, August 17, they had an appointment with the Realtor to make an offer on a house they were interested in. It was an appointment that was never kept. Instead, Traynor rushed to be with me at the pool, and Morrow met us at the hospital emergency room.

This October we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Daily Light for Daily Living. As our beloved nation has entered a period of spiritual drought, my prayer for these sixty-second droplets of truth comes from Deuteronomy 32:2: Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass... I praise God for all He is doing to provide Living Water through the medium of radio.

During Danny’s time in ICU, whenever I slipped home, my youngest daughter, Rachel-Ruth, stayed with me while my son, Jonathan, stayed

with his Dad in the hospital. When Danny moved to Our Father’s House on August 19th, Traynor and Morrow expressed concern that I would be by myself. With a twinkle in my eye, I responded that I wanted my son-in-law to ask me if he could move in with me, which he jokingly said had been his “dream.” And they did! I have not had one night alone in my house since Danny left.

More than any other single source during these difficult days, Morrow and Traynor have been a channel of God’s blessing to me. Morrow grocery shops and cooks for the three of us. Traynor looks for things he can do around the house and the yard—then does them. We share devotional thoughts each evening, discuss Scripture as well as the latest current events, and pray for each other with audible words that can be overheard by all three of us. After months and years of life-threatening emergencies, EMS calls, interacting with medical personnel, bearing responsibility for heavy duty medications and dialysis while trying to keep my husband’s spirits up and minister to him, God is blessing me with rest. Peace. Joy. Comfort. And hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

Our entire family has been acutely aware of God’s hand in this incredible process. As though He had nothing else to give His time to…whether planets to spin or blood moons to schedule or world leaders to gather or a nuclear agreement to void or His imprisoned and tortured children to care for…He has given me His undivided attention as He has arranged in the smallest detail for my comfort, companionship, and care in the wake of Danny’s Homegoing. He has proven Himself to be my Heavenly Husband…the Bridegroom who is coming…soon! (Isaiah 54:5; Matthew 25:6)

Until Jesus does come, I want to comfort you. Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly

Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? (Matthew 6:26) If the Heavenly Father takes care of birds…if He takes care of me …why do you think He will not also take care of you? Therefore, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

So with tears on my face and hope in my heart, join me as I bow in humble adoration and worship before the God from whom all blessings flow.

For His glory,

On September 1st I issued a recall to pray for Jerusalem. In spite of my husband’s move to Our Father’s House on August 19 and the subsequent services for him on August 28 through 30, the burden to pray was unmistakable. Over 80,000 people responded…so we were pre-prayered for the news of Russia’s foothold in the Middle East, the 4th blood moon on September 28th, the Palestinian flag raised at the UN, and the increasing isolation of Israel in the family of nations. Heaven was moved! Ten thousand women rallied for prayer in Hebron! And since our first call to pray on 9/1/14, 900,000 Hebrew speaking people have visited the website: imetmessiah.com. That’s a blessing!

Miss A. Wetherell Johnson was the founder and director of Bible Study Fellowship. She not only taught me how to teach the Scriptures, she showed me how by her own example of teaching from the heart. She emphasized not just what the Bible says, but what it means for everyday life. One of the dearest blessings of the past year was when Steve Gately, a BSF Board member, and his wife, Gloria, sent me Miss Johnson’s rocking chair as a gift!

Bible Study: The Fountainhead of All Blessing

I. THE BLESSING OF GOD THE FATHER Numbers 6:24

*What two things are revealed about God the Father in this verse?*How are these two characteristics reflected in God’s title given in Psalm 80:1 and described in more detail in Psalm 23? *List the things the Shepherd does for His sheep in Psalm 23. Which is most meaningful to you?*Give phrases with verses that emphasize God’s determination to keep His children: Psalm 91:1-16; Psalm 121:1-8; Isaiah 41:10; Romans 8:38-39*How does God’s determination to keep you give you comfort and security?*List as many blessings as you can from Ephesians 1:3-14 that come from God the Father. *What five blessings from this list are most meaningful to you? Thank Him for them.*When has God kept you…from the enemy? From danger? From temptation? What else has He kept you from? Thank Him now.

II. THE BLESSING OF GOD THE SON Numbers 6:25

*What two characteristics of God the Son are revealed in this verse?*What did Jesus Christ claim in John 14:9?

All blessing comes from God. God has blessed you and me, as He did Abraham, so that we can be a blessing to others. We receive it from Him, then become a channel of His blessing to others. They, in turn, bless God with their praise and thanksgiving. The blessing that came from God is returned to God, who blesses even more. So…in being blessing-bearers, we are therefore blessed.

Read Numbers 6:24-26*Give phrases that use these characteristics to describe Jesus Christ as God the Son in John 1:18; Hebrews 1:3; 2 Corinthians 4:6; John 1:14-17*Since Jesus put a “face” on God the Father, how would you describe the Father to a friend?*What is there about Jesus that makes you love God the Father more?

III. THE BLESSING OF GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT Numbers 6:26

*What two characteristics of God the Spirit are revealed in this verse?*How does the Spirit turn God’s face towards us? John 14:15-17; 16:13-15; Romans 5:1-5; John 14:26*Where does real peace come from and how do you experience it? Isaiah 48:17-18; John 14:27; Philippians 4:6-7; Romans 8:6; 14:17; Galatians 5:22; Ephesians 5:18*In what area of your life do you lack peace? Would you ask God to reveal to you why? Then surrender everything to the control of God the Holy Spirit, opening your heart to His river of peace that passes all understanding.

Today, pray Numbers 6:24-26 over someone—out loud, in their hearing. Bless them in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Then take a few moments to offer a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to God from whom all blessings flow.

This picture was posted on Facebook September 25th with the following excerpt from one of Anne’s messages. We were blessed to receive almost 2 million views!

A few years ago I found myself groping for a way to explain the forgiveness of sin to a woman who had been on death row for multiple murders and would be executed within ten hours of my visit. Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked at me beseechingly, needing assurance of the salvation she had claimed by faith six years earlier. That very night she would be stepping into eternity, and she was desperate for reassurance of her forgiveness by God. I asked her if she had ever been to the ocean, and she nodded “yes.” I asked her if, as she had

walked along the shore, she had seen small holes in the sand where ghost crabs had darted in and out. Again she nodded. I then asked if she had seen any larger holes, like those made by children digging. Beginning to look puzzled, she said “yes,” she had seen holes like that. I persisted gently to see if she had ever seen huge holes created by machines dredging a channel or burying pipe lines on the beach. Her brow furrowed as she again acknowledged a quiet “yes.” I then leaned toward her and pressed my point, “Velma, when the tide comes in, what happens to all those holes?”

A soft light began to gleam in her eyes, and a smile played at the corner of her lips as I answered my own question. “All the holes are covered equally by the water, aren’t they? God’s forgiveness is like the tide that washes over all the ‘holes’ of your sins and covers all your sins equally.”

As personal, political, national, and international storms rage, I believe it’s worthwhile to reexamine the foundation on which we are building our lives. Jesus said unless we build on the rock which is our faith in Him, our lives will implode when the storms erupt. Many professing Christians don’t know what or why they believe. So I posted my video series, God’s Story, on YouTube and on our website, with the prayer that it would be used to shore up the foundation of faith on which we are building our lives. Be sure and check it out, then pass it on.
