God works the night shift



Aren't you glad God works the night shift? No matter when we call, He hears...

And, conversely, as His children, are we ready to hear the midnight cry for help?

Here, in an evocative painting titled "3 a.m.", artist Lloyd Marcus captures the sense of divine faithfulness at point of need -- God's loyal servants, hearing a late, desperate cry. Ironically, this masterful piece was considered "too religious" by the town gatekeepers of Deltona, FL. They asked Lloyd for 3 paintings for Black History Month, and then banned his paintings whenever they saw them...

Interesting, no?

Such a state of affairs makes our service for the least of these that much more crucial in this generation...
