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: “My king, despite all
these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and he knows “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 nobleman, the savages found that the
victim had not one of his fingers, so he 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 to 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. He is never wrong.”
Often
we complain about life, and negative things that happen to us,
forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.
Every
morning, offer your day to God, don’t be in a rush. Ask God to inspire
your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be
afraid. God is never wrong!
You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because he never make mistakes…
We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him, whom he has called according to his plan. (Rom 8: 28).
