CVII: At Any Age, His Hand Always Reaches
February 20th, 2011 by Jeff
As the old line goes, God is never late, but He’s always right on time.For Sonny Franzese, it took all of 94 years of living - and hard living at that – to finally get to the end of the line!
Read my friend, Michael Franzese’s (spoke at the 3rd The Gathering of Greater Springfield’s Outreach breakfast <9/21/10> facebook post around 1 p.m. Wednesday:
“GREAT NEWS! Thanks to the loving effort of chaplain Miriam from Cardone Industries in PA, who I had the pleasure of sharing the gospel with 2 weeks ago, my dad, Sonny Franzese, has accepted Jesus into his heart. Thousands of you have been praying for him. THANK YOU! At 94, he still needs prayer to complete God’s work in his life. Team Sonny, GO FOR IT!”
God’s timing = perfect!
We think God is far from faithful sometimes with timing, His plans, and more. If I know anything, I know this: His ways and thoughts are higher than mine, and His timetable is perfect.
He wants us to trust Him and wait on Him without getting ahead of Him.
- We microwave … He simmers!
- We rush through the crowd … He gazes and sees and meets needs that others miss.
- We cram … He simplifies.
- We move … He can not be moved.
- We (often) labor in vain … His work always produces fruit.
Michael’s dad played his game, by his rules and in the end it got him life behind bars and an unfulfilled life.
But while being a prisoner for life here on earth, He now will be freer than ever before, thanks to many prayers and that PA chaplain.
We are never too far away, never too far gone, never out of the game, His hand will always reach down!
