FAITHFUL

Deuteronomy 7:9 says, "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands". I was awakened early this morning and during some quiet time was drawn to this verse. I truly believe I experienced a miracle through the hands of two surgeons yesterday. During Jesus time he healed the sick through the power of his word and the touch of his hands. In our time I believe God still performs miracles and uses his people daily to carry out this work in his kingdom. I was nervous yesterday as Silas went into surgery. There were so many what if's. What if they couldn't repair his hearing? What if he had trouble during surgery? What if we had to come back to California for another procedure? What if his facial nerve is damaged and he is permanantly paralyzed? But then the comfort of the promise of our eternal father was spoken to us by his surgeon. About lunch time yesterday, his Doctor greated us by saying that he thought we had an "answer to lots of prayers". The ear he was repairing was in better shape than he thought and though it is early and we will have to wait for healing, he believed there is a very great chance his hearing will be restored to this ear.
God made the lame walk, the blind see.....and through his mighty and powerful hands and the gift he gave to two surgeons, he gave my Silas hearing back. He is faithful. This was a great reminder to me! Many thanks to all of you who are praying for us. The surgery went better than expected and he had a restful night and will begin the recovery process today!
