THE LORD'S TEST
I woke up this morning and knew that today,
The sun would not be shining and the clouds would be gray.
As I stepped outside, rain fell upon my head.
My car wouldn't start so I walked to school instead.
I forgot all of my assignments; I failed all of my tests.
I dropped my head in disgust
and asked the Lord for one request.
'Lord, why is it that things won't go my way?'
He gently replied,
'Dear child it is because you didn't thank Me yesterday.
I woke you up and enabled you to see the sun again.
I gave you shelter,
protected your family, and even let you make a new friend.
I blessed you far greater than I ever had before.
But you were too busy to thank Me once more.
You didn't feel sick because I maintained your health.
You had money in your pocket because I maintained your wealth.
You had shoes on your feet and clothes to wear, too.
You had plenty of food to eat, and what did you do?
You ignored Me and went about your tasks.
But when you wanted something you never hesitated to ask.
I was there when you needed Me and that wasn't too long ago.
But when things started going your way,
it was Me you did not know.
As if that weren't enough, I provided our favourite luxuries.
This was something I didn't have to do - they weren’t even necessities.
And when it was time to get on your knees and show your gratitude,
You decided that after such a fulfilling day, you weren't in the mood.
So I decided to give you just a little test.
To show you how it would feel to stop being blessed.'
I began to realize what the Lord was saying.
And when I got home, I fell to my knees and started praying.
He said, 'My child, you have learned and you know I do forgive.
But remember to remember this day as long as you shall live.
I love filling your life with joy, and your pain I'll alleviate it.
But just a simple thank you would show how much you appreciate it.'
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals
A man was walking across a ravine on a shaky foot bridge. The bridge was very old and creaked ominously with every step that he took. Fear gripped him, his palms were sweating and his muscles aching as he held on tight to the rails. The wind started blowing and the old food bridge started swaying from side to side. Looking down the man saw the sharp edge rocks at the bottom of the ravine. He felt the sweat running down his face and down his back. His mouth was dry and his heart was racing in his throat. He knew that the bridge could collapse with his next step. He slowly closed his eyes and then he started praying for help.
As he opened his eyes after his prayer he saw God on the other side of the foot bridge. With a shaky voice he asked God to come near. But God didn’t move, He stood on the firm ground with His hands on the bridge’s rails. The man got angry. Why does God not want to help me? Why is He just standing there? I have asked for help in my difficult and dangerous situation and now God does not want to help me? Then, with great difficulty, he started moving forward. Foot for foot he neared the end of the bridge. After what felt like eternity he successfully crossed to the other side. He was very angry with God as he felt let down in his hour of desperation. As he looked at God he froze and goose bumps ran all over his body. He saw that the rails of the bridge was broken and that God was holding it together so that it could not collapse!
So what is the lesson?
Sometimes when we face adversity and we need to cross a dangerous ravine on a shaky foot bridge, God has not forsaken us. He is holding the bridge together so that we can cross it in safety! He will never leave or forsake us! Trust Him. His ways are amazing!
Through humour, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.
