There it stood, between Ali Baba Avenue and the railroad tracks in Opa Locka.
The perfect building for my commissary.
8,100 square feet, and it came with the right price ticket.
On decision-to-buy day, we looked to the east and saw God’s rainbow above, a loving sign this was the right choice.
The City of Opa Locka itself was in financial ruin. Water bills were severely inflated—something we weren’t aware of until later.
Soon the State of Florida moved in and took over the city’s financial affairs.
Are you surrounded by some form of ruin yourself? Maybe a bad neighborhood, a bad job, or a bad friend?
Like Opa Locka, you may be in need of some serious prayer.
Tomorrow morning at 7:30, we’re starting a once-a-month prayer group for the turn-around of the city.
This is the second in a series of rooftop prayers—the first was launched last fall in Coral Gables.
If it be God’s will, many will gather at the same time in prayer on many rooftops throughout South Florida . . . from Palm Beach into the Keys.
Today’s Scripture from Matthew sums up the intent beautifully:
“Deliver Us from Evil”
He will for Opa Locka and for you. . . .
If we make time to ask Him.
