@JustinBerkobien That 170,000 is tragic. But here is the tweet using dogs:
Christians in America who don’t want people murdering their dogs’ puppies can’t claim moral superiority until they’ve cared for the 3.1 million dogs in shelters.
In the Bible, it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.
Day 41 came and the rain stopped.
Moses committed murder & hid in the desert for 40 years. 41 came, and God called him to help rescue Israel.
Moses went up on the mountain for 40 days. On day 41, he received the Ten Commandments.
The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. Year 41, they walked into the Promised Land.
Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days. Day 41 came, and David slew him.
Jonah preached a message of repentance to Ninevah for 40 days. On day 41, God stopped His plan to destroy them.
Jesus fasted and was tempted for 40 days. Day 41, and the devil fled.
After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples for 40 days. On day 41, He ascended into Heaven.
All this to say...don’t quit. The rain will stop, the giant will fall, and you will enter your “promised land.” Don't give up at 40.
41 is coming.
“God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant, and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us."

@DustyDeevers@jimmyfallon Proverbs 7:26-27
Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
