I know not why God’s wondrous grace To me He hath made known, Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love Redeemed me for His own. Refrain: But “I know Whom I have believed, And am persuaded that He is able To keep that which I’ve committed Unto Him against that day.” I know not how this saving faith To me He did impart, Nor how believing in His Word Wrought peace within my heart. I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing men of sin, Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith in Him. I know not what of good or ill May be reserved for me, Of weary ways or golden days, Before His face I see. I know not when my Lord may come, At night or noonday fair, Nor if I walk the vale with Him, Or meet Him in the air....
Symptoms of Heart Attack Heart disease is the #1 health problem in the United States. Heart disease is a condition that can occur when cholesterol and other fat deposits in the arteries build up, and cause the arteries to narrow, restricting blood flow to the heart. As this happens, the heart does not receive enough oxygen to work properly, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. A person having a heart attack should receive emergency treatment quickly. It’s important to know the symptoms of a heart attack and seek immediate medical attention if these symptoms occur. Heart Attack Symptoms: A heart attack is an emergency even when you think the symptoms are mild. Warning signs include: Pain or pressure in the chest. Discomfort spreading to the back, neck, jaw, throat, or arms. Nausea, indigestion, or heartburn. Weakness or faintness , anxiety, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing. Rapid or irregular heartbeats. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms. What Is a Heart Attack? Every year, more than 1 million Americans have a heart attack – a sudden interruption in the heart’s blood supply. This happens when there is a blockage in the coronary arteries, the vessels that carry blood to the heart muscle. When blood flow is blocked, heart muscle can be damaged very quickly and die. Prompt emergency treatments have reduced the number of deaths from heart attacks in recent years. All chest pains and related discomforts should be reported to the doctors who will do the necessary tests and prescribed the necessary medication. Your overall lifestyle, diet– that is, what you eat), how frequently you exercise, and the way you handle stress, all play an important role in your recovery from a heart attack. In addition, a healthy lifestyle can help you prevent a heart attack by controlling risk factors that contribute to the narrowing of the coronary arteries that supply blood to your heart. Natural Remedies are the best:- Here are some Heart Healthy Foods that can help save your heart. Definition “A heart attack usually occurs when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood through a coronary artery — a blood vessel that feeds blood to a part of the heart muscle. Interrupted blood flow to your heart can damage or destroy a part of the heart muscle. A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, can be fatal. This is often because people confuse their symptoms with a minor illness, like indigestion, and delay going to the hospital. They try to tough out their symptoms and receive treatment too late.” Read more information here at this link. Call...
Profiting from Trials: James 1:5-6 5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” Expect Great Things:. We need to have far less confidence in what man can do and far more confidence in what God can do for every believing soul. He longs to have you reach after Him by faith. He longs to have you expect great things from Him. He longs to give you understanding in temporal as well as in spiritual matters. He can sharpen the intellect. He can give tact and skill. Put your talents into the work, ask God for wisdom, and it will be given you. Christ Object Lessons p.146 Ellen G. White James 1:5-6 New King James Version...
