After the king had healed completely, he decided to go hunting as usual. However, before they started the journey his servant got a report that one of his parents was gravely ill and he was needed promptly. The servant left to his parents home, but the king did not back off. He decided to go hunting alone. Unfortunately, man-eating monsters found the king alone in the jungle. The monsters wanted to tear the king apart but before they did, they decided to inspect the king. Luckily, they found out that one of his figures was missing.They had to leave the king alone because they only fed on a complete human being.
When the king returned home, he told the story to the servant.The servant thanked God for what he had done. The king questioned the servant why he thanked God. The servant explained to the king how God made his parent sick so that he could be away. If he had accompanied the king he would have been killed by the monster because he was complete.That was God's plan.
The story reminds me of Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things.God works for the benefit of those who love him, Who have been called according to his purpose."
In every situation that we undergo we should thank God. If we truly love Him then he is doing it for our best. Sometimes we complain and ask God many questions. However, we should understand that God worketh for our good because he loves us with unbound love.You might be sick so that some day your testimony can make someone believe in God even more.You might undergo hardships so that people may understand that God can deliver.You might lack now so that in future you can make someone understand that God can provide. Everything works for the glory of God to those who love him. Let's learn to appreciate God even when everything seems to be going wrong. God is in control always.
