It was a little more than a week ago that my dear friend and companion, Silas, passed away. I saw it coming...
Rejoicing in hope; patient
in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer. Romans 12:12 It's often the seemingly little and insignificant things and events which help to change the favor and mood of the day... I have been making an effort to go outdoors more often, especially at night, to walk in the cold fresh air...
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of
life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Proverbs 11:30 I pray that Christians will do our labor - the joyous labor of winning souls, especially now that the harvest is ripe... O God, thou art my God;
early will I seek thee... Psalm 63:1a At 10 o'clock this morning, I went outdoors for my ninety-minute recreation period... Ask, and it shall be given to you;
seek, and you will find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matthew 7:7 I was deeply touched when, this afternoon, while I was at my work assignment in the E-North cell block... And He that sent me is with me: the
Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please Him. John 8:29 As the Lord Jesus always sought to please His Father, I too seek to do the same... Henceforth I call you not servants...
but I have called you friends... John 15:15 Tonight I plan to spend a quiet evening in my cell. It's going to be just me and Jesus alone together... For a number of the men who are doing time with me and are now members of the body of Christ, the fact is, unless a miracle happens, they may die in here...
"...but the just shall live by faith."
Habakkuk 2:4 I do not know what tomorrow may bring... |
