Diane
Musil is a special friend of this
ministry. I asked Diane how long
she has been a Christian, and she
responded, "I
was saved
7/7/1977. Diane explains,
"That is when I
first became saved and accepted
Jesus Christ as my Savior and
Lord!!!!" She is a women
of faith and a powerful prayer
warrior. Diane loves the
Lord with all of her heart and
has a deep abiding relationship
with Him, born out of life's
struggles.
- Since the
beginning of this ministry,
Diane has been an
encouragement to Rhonda and
me. We asked Diane if she
would be willing to write
devotionals, which we could
add to this website, so that
other people would be
encouraged too. Diane
graciously responded, "Yes,".
Her first devotional appeared
online May 2007 (see archived
devotionals at bottom of web
page).
-
- Diane is Deaf
and legally blind, caused by
being born almost three months
premature. Many years ago,
Diane was visiting at the
Retreat Center here and
preparing to share in chapel.
Diane was in the kitchen, and
I happened to walk in on her
as she was reading her Bible
and praying. Diane had her
Bible within three inches of
her eyes as she diligently,
slowly, was reading the Word
of God. I backed out of the
kitchen. That image of Diane
reading her Bible has spurred
me on to be faithful in
reading the precious Word of
God. Rhonda and I pray that
God will encourage you as you
read Diane's devotionals each
month. Diane has lived in the
Chicago area her entire
life.

encourage and bless
you,

February
2009
Hi
Friend:
This month starts
our new devotional series for the
year and I am really excited to
have this opportunity to share
with you.
 Are you tired and worn
out? Do you lack power and
strength? Then this devotional
series is for you. For the next
several months, we will be
looking into the eagle's life,
the eagle's journey, and compare
it to the Christian life--OUR
CHRISTIAN LIFE.
I pray you will
be encouraged by God's Word and
that His truth's will give you
hope. May you soar like an eagle
as you journey on ahead through
today, tomorrow and on into the
future.
As a way of
introduction, I want to share
from Isaiah 40:28-31
(NKJV)
Have you not
known?
Have you not
heard?
The everlasting
God, the LORD,
The Creator of
the ends of the earth,
Neither faints
nor is weary.
His understanding
is unsearchable.
He gives power to
the weak,
And to those who
have no might He increases
strength.
Even the youths
shall faint and be weary,
And the young men
shall utterly fall,
But those who
wait on the LORD
Shall renew their
strength;
They shall mount
up with wings like eagles,
They shall run
and not be weary,
They shall walk
and not faint.
Throughout the
month, I encourage you to read
and meditate on the above verses
often. It is my desire for you in
2009, that you see more of who
the everlasting God is, and then
realize--THIS GOD, THE
EVERLASTING GOD, through the Holy
Spirit, lives within you!
WOW!

PRAYER
- Dear Jesus: I
pray for each person who is
reading this devotional today,
Lord, that they would live for
You, serve You and do great
things in the Kingdom of God
for Your honor and Your glory.
"Now to Him who is able to do
immeasurably more than all we
ask or imagine, according to
His power that is at work
within us, to Him be glory in
the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen
(Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV).
Thank Jesus.
