Always be thankful.

in #joy8 years ago (edited)

A King had a male servant who, in all circumstances

always said to him; My king, do not be discouraged

because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes.

One day, they went hunting and a wild animal

attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the

animal but couldn't prevent his majesty from losing a

finger. Furious and without showing gratitude, the

King said; if God was good, I would not have been

attacked and lost one finger. The servant replied,

'despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is

good and everything He does is perfect, He is never

wrong'. Outraged by the response, the king ordered

the arrest of his servant.

While being taken to prison, he told the king again,

God is Good & Perfect. Another day, the king left alone

for another hunt and was captured by savages who

use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the

savages found out that the king didn't have one finger

in place, he was released because he was considered

not "complete" to be offered to the gods. On his

return to the palace, he ordered the release of his

servant and said; My friend, God was really good to

me. I was almost killed 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 prison? His servant

replied; My king, if I had not been put in prison, I would

have gone with you, and would have been sacrificed,

because I have no missing finger. Everything God

does is perfect, He is never wrong. Often we complain

about life, and the negative things that happen to us,

forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God

knows why you are reading this message today,

please bless someone with it by sharing it. God is

good and perfect!! My dear friend, a good attitude will

determine your altitude. When you look at your life,

career, job or family life, what do you say? Do you

praise God? Do you blame the Satan? A good attitude

towards God makes Him move on your behalf. Just

sit down and say, Today , I am thankful I had a

peaceful sleep, I am thankful I am alive with

possibilities, I am thankful I have a roof over me, I am

thankful I have a job, I am thankful that I have Family

and Friends.

Above all, I am thankful that I have God in my life . Be

blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others

are prospering because you don't know what they

have been through to get there (test, trials and

tribulation) so thank God for what you have. "Little is

much when God is in it. It Is Well With God's grace.
