A certain man in a small village had just a son and a horse. These were his only possessions. No other family, friend or relatives. One early morning, he woke up and realised his only horse was missing. Being the only possession he had apart from his son he felt so bad. His neighbours ran to his compound when they heard this and lamented saying:
"This is bad luck oo ooo, this is bad luck". They cried with him and tried to console him.
Few days later, his horse returned with 8 other horses. His neighbours hearing this, joyfully ran to his compound, shouting;
"This is good luck ooooo, this is good luck" .
Few months later his son rode out with one of the new horses that was brought home. While on the horse, the horse threw him off, he fell to the ground and broke his leg. The villagers brought him home with a broken leg. His father seeing this felt so bad once again. He wasn't happy that his only son had gotten his leg broken by a horse. His neighbours once again ran to his compound shouting;
"This is bad luck ooo, this is bad luck...."
Few days later a war broke out in the village and the king ordered all young men to come out and defend the community.
Therefore, some of the leaders went from door to door forcefully dragging out all the young men available to join the army. They got to this old man's house and found his son lying down with a broken leg, so he was left alone since he wouldn't be useful to them at the way front.
At the war front all the young men that were representing the old man's village died. Not one escaped. The news got to the village and the old man's neighbours ran to his compound as usual, shouting;
"This is good luck ooo, this is good luck..... ".
Hmmmmmmmm.......
This is the life man lives. People will always define the circumstances before you based on their human understanding. The life you live is yours and its left for you to define your situations in terms of the knowledge you have.
We should always understand that "all things work togather for good to them that love God" .
Rom.8.28: We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose. [AMP]
Even when the circumstance is as a result of your mistakes or demonic interference. When you turn back to your first love (God), he would always bring it to your favour.
Meditate on this as you go about your endeavours this week. God bless you
Happy New week lovelies.
Have a productive week ahead.
always yours @amagod.
@originalworks
I'm really moved by this
We tend to determine our situation base on our little foresight and that has never helped because we negelect the most important part which is God's grace!
We should always give thanks in all situations!
