A king who
did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all
circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God
does is perfect, no mistakes!
One day they went hunting and along the
way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal,
but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger.
Furious and without showing
his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said "Is God good? If He was
good, I would not have been attacked and lost my finger."
The slave replied
only "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is
good, and he knows the "why" of all these things.What God does is perfect.
He is never wrong!"
Outraged by the response, the king
ordered the arrest of his slave.
Later, he left for another hunt and was
captured by savages who made human sacrifices.
In the altar, ready to
sacrifice the noble savage had found that the victim had not one of his
fingers, was released. According to them: it was not so complete to be
offered to the gods.
Upon his return to the palace, he
authorized the release of his slave that he received very
affectionately.
"My dear, God was really good for me! I
was almost killed by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let
go! But I have a question: If God is so good, why did he allow me to put you
in jail? "
"My King, if I had gone with you in this
hunt, I 'would have been sacrificed for you, because I have no missing
finger. "
Therefore, remember: everything God does
is perfect. IT is never wrong.
Often we complain about life and things
that happen to us apparently negative, forgetting that nothing is random and
that everything has a purpose.
Every morning, offer your day to
God. Ask God
to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, to ease your
feelings. And do
not be afraid. God is never wrong!
Yes mam, some days it feels to me like i've lost a couple of fingers and no one knows how i feel and why i act a certain way, but God is most certainly in control and my heart IS on Him.I do panic some times,i am human!
