100%

Sunday, September 21, 2008

When we first spoke with the trauma surgeon yesterday morning, he said the Dad had about a 50-50% chance of survival. I struggle with percentages--whether determining an outcome of a lawsuit, the chances of rain, or my Dad's survival. In our vocabulary, Dad has a full 100% chance of survival. We speak truth in our words...with no fear...with no doubt!

Here's what Jesus had to say about our prayers:

"Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22).

And here's what the Psalmist had to say about our Dad:

Because he (Ray) has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, becuase he has known My name.
He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble.
I will rescue him and honor him.
With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation. (Psalm 91:14-16)
