FROM THE HEART

_________________________

Romans 5:1-5 (NRSV)

Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.

_________________________

Pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.

-- Psalm 62:8 (NRSV)

_________________________

AS I drove many miles to be with my dying mother, I thought about how King David had poured out his heart to God. No matter what difficulties he faced, David trusted God. Like David, we can come before God in prayer, open our hearts, and trust God to answer.

I face trials and troubles, but I know God uses them to build me into the person I am meant to be and to lead me toward the goal God has for my life. As I place my trust in God, I experience freedom, peace, and contentment. When I pour out my heart, God hears me, heals me, and helps me. I could not prevent my mother from dying, but I could share my most difficult trials with the Friend who will never fail. My grief diminished as I allowed God to share my pain.

As each chapter of our lives comes to a close, God turns the page to reveal the beginning of the next chapter. When the last chapter of our physical life ends, we will meet God, the author of our lives.


Prayer: Dear God, let us open our hearts to you in prayer. Help us
to trust you and to do your will. Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
In everything God works for good.

-- Elizabeth von Keitz (Ontario, Canada)

PRAYER FOCUS: Those who need healing

Frequently Asked Questions About Equine Parasitism And
Their Answers..


Part 3 ..


Q. Why should horseowners be worried about internal parasites if their horses look healthy?


A. Most horse owners can identify a horse that is "wormy": it looks potbellied, has a poor haircoat and is low on energy. While this level of clinical parasitism is something horse owners know to avoid, 90 percent of the damage done by parasites is unseen and present even in horses that look healthy.

Traditional purge dewormers like pastes and drenches do a good job of removing worms—at the time of treatment. However, a horse can quickly become reinfected with eggs and larvae picked up in pastures, paddocks and stalls, resulting in subclinical parasitism. Even if a horse is carrying low numbers of internal parasites, parasite migration through a horse's tissues can damage the circulatory system, intestines, stomach, liver and lungs. So a horse may look good, but still be harboring internal parasites.
