"But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil." Psalm 92:10
We are still praying for strength for Dad. He had lots of rest yesterday and did pretty well eating. He had a "super shake" in the afternoon. It is ice cream, carnation instant breakfast, protein powder and some other things that make it count 700 calories. It really filled him up.
Dad was also anointed with the "finest oil" yesterday. I had forgotten about the second part of that verse until a pastor from our church came to pray. He read some Psalms over Dad and then reached in his pocket for his oil. He said that there is nothing "magic" about the oil but it is from Israel so that makes it "really cool". I was thinking it makes it "really fine maybe even the finest"! In the Bible, James chapter 5 talks about the elders praying over the sick and anointing them with oil. We believe that the Lord heals and we are trusting that the Lord hears our prayers.
And He did. Dad had one more bout of diarrhea (just realized that I have been spelling that wrong in ALL of my posts!) yesterday afternoon. He has not had diarrhea for almost 24 hours! Yee-haw! Dad's white blood cell count went back down to 14 today! Double Yee-haw!
I read this "celebration" Psalm over Dad this morning:
Sing a new song to the Lord,
for he has done wonderful deeds.
His right hand has won a mighty victory;
his holy arm has shown his saving power!
The Lord has announced his victory
and has revealed his righteousness to every nation!
He has remembered his promise to love and be faithful to Israel.
The ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
for he has done wonderful deeds.
His right hand has won a mighty victory;
his holy arm has shown his saving power!
The Lord has announced his victory
and has revealed his righteousness to every nation!
He has remembered his promise to love and be faithful to Israel.
The ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
Shout to the Lord, all the earth;
break out in praise and sing for joy!
Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song,
with trumpets and the sound of the ram’s horn.
Make a joyful symphony before the Lord, the King!
break out in praise and sing for joy!
Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song,
with trumpets and the sound of the ram’s horn.
Make a joyful symphony before the Lord, the King!
Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
Let the earth and all living things join in.
Let the rivers clap their hands in glee!
Let the hills sing out their songs of joy
before the Lord.
For the Lord is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice,
and the nations with fairness. Psalm 98:1-9
