When I went in to see
Kechi, her temperature was high again, due to the infection. Her blood pressure
was also quite low. This was definitely one of the “down” periods we were
warned about in burns patients. The infection was raging through her body but I
was not moved because the blood of Jesus was also all over and inside her. I
was trusting in the Lord.
When I spoke with Dr.
Pahad, he admitted that this was the period they got most concerned about in
burns patients when the infection has grabbed a hold. But he was also confident
that they were dealing with it.
As soon as I walked
into Kechi's room, I got the urge to say the Psalm that begins thus over Kechi, Give
thanks to the Lord; for He is good: Because His mercy endureth forever.
After praying, I got
out my bible and asked God for help in locating the Psalm. I flipped open the
bible to Psalms, turned a page and there it was, Psalm 118.
I would like to note
here that by this time, I was no longer surprised at this sort of thing
happening. I was daily feeling closer and closer to God and without much
thought, I was relying on Him to make things happen for me not just the big
stuff, even little stuff like helping me find exactly where relevant verses
were located in the bible. This happened very often and has continued till
today. Sometimes, I woke with a verse in my heart, opened my bible, and there
it was!
Back
to that day, I recited the whole Psalm aloud while standing over Kechi, and it
ministered greatly to me. I loved verse 4,“Let them now that fear
the Lord say, that His mercy endureth forever” and
Verse 17, I declared to Kechi every day since the plane crash,“I shall not die, but
live, and declare the works of the Lord.”
To be continued...
