July 24. Thank you, Lord, for a more restful sleep last night. And thank you for the sunshine this morning. Study in Exodus was such a blessing and challenge. How our hearts ache for these men who have made profession of salvation, but are so flippant about sin as if God just puffs at it like they do, and as if they can just say “sorry” to God and “shake His hand” and everything will be okay. Lord, please give us more faithful men. Wan is back working again this morning, trying to finish the project he started yesterday, extending the shelves in the storage closet. By the end of his work for today, there is still quite a bit left to do. It was refreshing to spend about a half hour outside in the sunshine, getting a little exercise walking around and snapping off weed flowers, but leaving the leaves for ground cover. Afterward, I set up a file with a table of eight blocks and printed two pages of Bible verses in Pidgin (four different verses) so we can give out one with each phone that comes and goes for charging. Cut up the pages and set a verse card with each phone. Then it was time for dinner. But first I washed, peeled, cut up, and cooked a couple kaukau (sweet potato) so Wan could have something to eat before he left. Then I heated my bowl of soup and was thankful for renewed strength for the body. The afternoon and evening computer time was given to working on the school Bible lessons and then on Christian Family lessons which Dallas needs. Lord, that we might follow the example of our Saviour who exclaimed, “I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” (John 17:4) Help us, Lord, to glorify Thee on the earth, and to finish the work which Thou gavest us to do. July 25. After preparing and eating breakfast, having quiet time, and folding and putting away Friday’s laundry, Daddy and I went out around the yard for some fresh air and sunshine. Then I came back in and was greatly challenged through my Bible study in a portion of Exodus chapter 40. Spent most of my computer time today working on the family notes for Dallas. Also made another page of Bible verses to give out when we return phones. This evening, I very much enjoyed our time of sharing the Word together, singing a couple songs about God’s love and “The Old Rugged Cross,” and praying. “19) Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! 20) Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.” (Psalm 31:19-20) “Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.” (Psalm 140:13) We have been given precious and sure promises of God’s presence in Matthew 28:20 and in Hebrews 13:5. And we have this hope of someday being in his presence forever — ”Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy.” (Jude 1:24)
