Moth to the Flame

By on in Theology

My dad is dying. Terminal cancer and he will be gone soon. So I am closer to him and the Lord than ever before. 

“Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act.” -Ps 37:4

So a few days back, I am in prayer about what is on my heart. And I recall this verse, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Then without second thought or hesitation, the overflow of my heart was, “YOU LORD are the desire of my heart.”

Yet His blessings are abundant when the winds are strong and the uncertainty prevails day by day. So I only trust and believe. 

Follow the Light

Last night a delivery was made to my dad’s house. In the dark a knock at the door from a man who had a large bag which contained a supply of morphine. What is morphine? A pain medication of the opiate type which is found naturally in a number of plants and animals. It acts directly on the central nervous system. It is the latest attempt at relieving the pain associated with my Dad’s cancer that is terminal and has grown throughout his body. He has tried numerous pain suppression types to now involve a more potent form of medicine, but this is the substance to relieve trauma all the way through to his passing.

He doesn’t have long. In the past two weeks, I have been pouring into his soul through prayer, testimony, time in the word, encouragement and daily help here and there. Entering a time of hospice, he will become closer to our Lord’s kingdom. From a couple of days ago, he has approximately two months or so left. Another image of God moving into eternity toward His glory and His purposes.
