The King

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, the king left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices.  Ready to sacrifice the noble, the savages found that the victim did not have one of his fingers. He was therefore released.  According to them, he was not complete and could not be offered to the gods.

 

Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave who 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 on the 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 that are apparently negative, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose."                                            Author Unknown

 

Every morning, offer your day to God.  Ask Him to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, to ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!

 

The path of God and His word is perfect, without impurities. It is the way of all those who trust in him, as He says in 2 Samuel  22: 31
