Luke 2:49-50 – “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.
Family, today I believe the Lord has led me to send out a slightly modified version of a letter that this morning I sent to a Brother and his wife. I am supposing that the Lord has some person, or people, whom the letter would minister to. I pray to always hear and be obedient to His leading. I pray that this minister to some of you who hear the roaring of our enemy. Remember that the enemy roars like a lion, but that our Lord and Savior is the Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah. Praise God!
Thank you!
Bob
Hello Brother,
No apologies necessary! I love you Brother and I thank you for kind thoughts. I love you both!
Thank you for giving me your new number. I thought you were avoiding me! Ha! Just kidding!
I will keep you both, and your family in prayer. Having my father pass away in October 2015 I realize the great time that is dedicated to the care of a parent whose health is lessened. Since his death my siblings and I were immediately faced with the declining health of my mother. We still do. I would like to talk to you. Or at least keep an open line of correspondence. I know what it is to have your time so taken that even a few minutes seems like a lot to spare. Still, I encourage you to do it. The Word says that our enemy is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). What do lions do but try to separate their prey from the pack and then close in to with a deadly attack. I encourage you to stay connected with our family in the Lord. As my Dad’s health decreased, I saw him most every day. I missed, I think, very few days. I did not pull back in what the Lord had me do. Some very loving and dear family, even family in the Lord, thought that wrong. They said that the Lord would understand and it would be okay for me to temporarily drop some ministries. However, that is not what the Lord wanted me to do. I am not saying it is wrong for everyone, but that it is not what the Lord would have me do. I responded that I must be about my Father’s business (Luke2:49). I prayed for my Dad to be healed and left it to the Lord. Knowing and never straying from “God is good all the time and He loves me,” and my Dad, I found peace. The Lord is my refuge (Psalm 18:2). It is God Himself who calls, enables and sustains (Psalm 54:4). Brother, stay strong in Him. Nothing else matters. In response to what some said to me “The Lord will understand,” I say that is definitely true. But what will He understand? What will He know…about me? What I want Him to know is that nothing, not anything, comes between Him and me. It is not a morbid struggle, but a bond of love. Our God is my everything. He needs to be that for all of us. I know you love the Lord. I’m sure the enemy is attacking you. I am confident that your faith shall shine. Cling to the Lord who has a strong hold on you. He loves you tenderly.
I hope we will stay in contact and maybe be able to meet. Love God. Oh, did I remember to say “love God?”
Brother you and your wife are in my heart.
Love and blessings to you both,
Your brother and servant,
Bob
