Have you ever questioned to yourself if God really exist or not? Or do you believe that He loves us? Some had questioned why their life is a mess, if God really cares for us then why He brings us pain and sufferings? Why we face a lot of difficulties? Why there are poor people, why there are people suffer from illness? Why He cannot just take it all away?

Those are some of the common questions we heard or we did it ourselves when certain situation are getting tougher for us to handle, we ought to have a lot of questions and finding anyone to blame with our sufferings instead of focusing how to solve or find solutions to the problems, while keeping our faith intact. It is said that God will help those who help themselves as well.

Story that will let you ponder that God has it's perfect timing and knows what's best for us.

There is a King who had a male servant that has strong faith to God. His servant always tell him, “My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect and no mistakes.”

One day, the King and the servant went hunting. While they are in the forest a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but the King already lose a finger, that was bitten by the wild animal.

The King was furious instead of being grateful as he was still alive and said; “If God was good, I would not have been attacked by a wild animal and lose a finger!” but the servant replied “ Despite what happened, I tell you you that God is good all the time and everything He does is perfect, He is never wrong.”

Angered by the response of his servant, the king ordered to arrest his servant. While the servant was taken to the prison, he again told the king, “God is good and perfect.”

Then another day came, the King left alone for a hunt again and this to time he was captured by savages that uses human beings for sacrifices. While he was laying on the altar waiting to be killed, the savages found out that he lost a finger. The savages released him because he was not “complete” and does not qualify to be offered to the gods.

When he came back at the palace, he ordered to release the servant. He said to the servant “my friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but because I lack a single finger, I was released as I am not complete. But I have a question; If God is really good, why did He allow me to put you in prison?” and his servant replied “My king, if you did not put me in prison, I would have come with you on hunting, and because I am complete probably I'll be the one to be sacrificed.”

Moral lesson of the story

In life we often questioned why we are in several situations, but later on the answers will prevail and everything has it's reason. We just have to believe no matter if we didn't understand the purpose yet as of the moment because eventually we will understand it later on.

Sometimes the struggles we have was just made to make us stronger, to give us experience and learn from it. We can never learn things fully unless we experience it. We will never be wise if we will not encounter failures.

Life is not an easy journey, it has a lot of trials and everything is inevitable. If you struggle big time, you are just being sharpened or being trained for the greater things that may come ahead. Success does not come easy, it has process to be followed and if you started at the bottom probably, you'll have a strong foundation for the future. That's how God preparing us for the greater things He will bestowed us.

My dad experience

My dad before was having a bad luck with his career, so he decided not to pursue what he finished anymore and tried to take an examination for Police but sadly he also got failed. He was very sad and thought that he is really unlucky, then a certain Manning agency called him and ordered him to report in the office and have his line up (he was a seaman). Mom and dad already give up and thought he will never have chance to pursue his chosen profession but it turns out not.

Everything has perfect timing, we just have to believe that God has better plans for us.

End Note:

God is good all the time, He might not give us what we want today but He will give us better later on. We just have to be courageous to keep going no matter how hard the situation is, because God will help those who help themselves.

Let's keep our faith, because if we have faith on God nothing is impossible and if God is with us who can be against us?
