A Nasty Rooster!




Psalm 6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer.

One of my earliest memories of animals unfortunately is a nasty rooster.

Our landlord had one that was ferocious. He would chase all the little kids and then peck real hard at our ankles, always drawing some blood. It’s unbelievable but true.

I remember one time he was chasing me and all I did was call out, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy”, in sheer terror. My Dad who was within ear shot came and picked me up in his arms.

In that instant all my fear melted into relief as I sank in his strong embrace.

What kinds of roosters are chasing us today? Our past, our present or is it our future?

Grief and worry come in all shapes and sizes but remember what the Word of God says, “The Lord will receive my prayer”. Not maybe, or could be or don’t know…but the Lord will receive my prayers and hear your voice of supplication.

Now let your heavenly Dad swoop you in His arms and sink in there safe and sound. He is able.
