I will not be moved


Matthew 7:25-26, “...yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
  
I just wanted to thank you all for praying for my dad and I have something to share with all of you.  He left me a message on my phone, and did I hear a change in his character. My dad, and I’m sure a lot of us, have had our share of doubts, questioned sovereignty, acted out in times of anger, but “the hand that holds, won’t let you go, and is the reason why” You will stumble, You will fall down, but don’t be moved.  “I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” (Psalm 16:8).

   With all that my dad was dealing with the past few days,  it would have kept him depressed, and probably in bed for a week. Plus, we all would have felt how mad he was. I’m so thankful to have been able to hear this change for myself, and know that God NEVER gives up on us. We just have to open up and believe... Then we can rest in Him, no matter what comes at us.

Well here’s how the message went: 

“Hello Kim, this is pop. I’m just sitting outside waiting for the 
 garage door man to come, and the car man. The car broke down 
yesterday too, and the television doesn’t work right, but 
everything is alright, because I looked up in the sky, and guess what? 
Bright as heck, bright, bright, Jesus loves you. Right in front of my 
garage. Oh my God, bye, bye.” 

In case you don’t know this, we have a skywriter hear in Florida, and he writes in the sky about how Jesus loves us all the time, but this was God’s perfect timing for my dad.

How precious this was to me, I can only imagine how Jesus felt to hear that come from my dad.  God is so faithful, and true to His word, “that I shall lose none of all that He has given me...” (John 6: 39).

So if you are praying for someone, NEVER lose hope.  Colossians 1:9 tells us, “...we have not stopped praying for you, and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will...”  Take Him at His word, and believe. My dad is 79 years old, it’s never too late for God, it’s us who wait too long to open up.

Don’t wait too long before you can experience a little heaven right here on earth, open up your heart to Jesus.

Grace and peace to you
Kim
