Yesterday, I went to Chapel Hill to get magnesium. There was a lady sitting across from me who was getting her chemo, plus some magnesium. If you'll recall in a previous blog about percentages, I said, there has to be someone in that 2% or 3% or else they would not be percentages. The Mayo Clinic states that there's a 2% chance that anyone will develop serious problems with knee replacements. This lady was in that 2%. She being a nurse, knew all the signs to look for. She knew everything there needed to be known about how to take care of her surgical areas. And yet with everything seemingly on her side, she lost her leg to infection. She seemed as if she had adjusted well to her circumstance. She lost her leg in 2011, and has cancer too. I was impressed at her attitude. She too knows the Lord as her friend and as her Savior and Lord. She, like me has faith that God knows what he's doing, and there is a purpose behind it all.
You know, when God test us, Deuteronomy 13:3 for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. He often starts small and gradually makes the tests more difficult each time. I know, sometimes it seems that some people that God just smacks them down with tests so enormous it's hard to stand up to it. But no matter the test, whether small or large, God will never test us beyond our strength. And sometimes too we Christians see what seems to be the most evilest people in the world, never having to go through problems, or troubles of any kind. '''''''''''The devil already has them!'''''''''
In ancient times, many people thought problems and troubles were a sign that you had not been living as God wanted. And that anyone with problems or troubles were getting punished by God for their sinful deeds. In Job, Job's friends constantly accused him of sinning against God. But Job knew in his heart that he had served the Lord in righteousness. In fact Job stated to these men this.

Job 13:15

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
You see, Job knew that he had served the Lord to the best of his ability.
And that's truly the only thing that God wants of us. That we receive His Son, Jesus Christ, as

our Lord and Savior, and that we just do the best we can in serving Him.
Until next time, Willard and I both wish you health and happiness, God bless and God save.
