THE FATHER NEVER LEAVES US ALONE

THE FATHER NEVER LEAVES US ALONE

 The early native Americans had a unique practice of training young braves.  After learning hunting, scouting, and fishing skills, on the night of a boy's thirteenth birthday he was put to one final test.  He was placed in a dense forest and required to spend the entire night alone.  Until then, he had never been away from the security of his family and tribe.  But on this night, he was blindfolded and taken several miles away from home.  When he took off the blindfold, he was in the middle of a thick woods and was totally terrified!  Every time a twig snapped, he visualized some wild animal ready to pounce.  

 After what seemed like an eternity, dawn finally broke and the first rays of sunlight entered the forest.  Looking around, the boy discovered flowers, trees, and the outline of a path that would lead him home.  But then, to his utter astonishment, he beheld the figure of a man standing just a few feet away, armed with a bow and arrow.  It was his father.  He had been there all night long. 

Likewise, sisters and brothers, in the darkest of times, our Father (Jehovah-Shammah) is there – all night long.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
