Tuesday, August 17th Update from Joni:

A friend asked, “Joni, what has Jesus been saying to you through all this?” I thought for a moment, realizing there have been plenty of dry moments depleted of all energy; times when I’ve felt, Lord, this cross, this quadriplegia and pain and cancer and chemo… where are you leading me? Yet I know the answer for who have I in heaven but Him and there is nothing on earth that I desire above Him; where else would I turn? Jesus is the one with the words of life, and without Him, I am nothing. He’s my Bread of Heaven and Living Water. And so what has Jesus been telling me? “Do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. [Joni], you need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised” (Hebrews 10:35-37). And, oh, what He has promised! Join me today in memorizing Hebrews 10:35-37 and keep it handy on those days you, too, feel dry and depleted. It’s the best remedy ever!
