the mama dog and the cliff

a few years ago i was going thru a tough time. i was really doubting God and His goodness in my life. i even contemplated chucking my faith and beliefs that i had held all my life.

then the Lord gave me a picture of a cliff, a canyon. one that went straight down and if you fell you were a goner. on the edge of the cliff was a puppy dog. she was too close to the edge, she could fall off at any moment. but then i saw the mama dog. she had her mouth around the scruff of the puppy's neck, holding onto her so she couldn't fall. the puppy was safe. she could gaze down into the abyss but she couldn't fall. the mama dog loved her too much to let her go .....

Jude 24 " Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy"

soon after i realized that what i believed was true and i knew that the Lord had held me fast as i gazed down into the canyon of destruction ....
