Fearless

I've been reading Max Lucado's book Fearless.

It's very good.

I decided today to copy down an except from it.

This was a prayer of a 7 year old son of a Bible translator who lived in West Africa.

He prayed this prayer as he watched his house burn to the ground.

Through wind and rain

Through fire and lava

The Lord will never leave you.

Through earthquakes and floods

Through changing sea levels and burning ash

The Lord will never leave you.

If you love Him, He will bless you

and He will give you many things.

Who can stop the Lord?

Who can chase a cheetah across the plains of Africa?

The Lord, He can.

Who can stand on Mount Everest?

Who can face a rhinoceros?

The Lord.

The Lord can give you sheep and goats and cows 

and ducks and chickens and dogs and cats.

The Lord can give you anything He wants to.

Who can stop the Lord?

Who can face the elephant?

Who is brave enough to face a lion?

The Lord.

Who's as fast as a horse?

Who can catch a blue whale?

Who is brave enough to face a giant squid? 

The Lord.

Just as Jesus died on the cross, 

so the Lord has done so.

The Lord will never leave His people.

The Bible is His word.

The Lord is a good leader.

The Lord loves you.

And He will not forsake His people.

The end.

This boy saw God through the flames.

Amen. And amen.
