The man who got trapped in an
island
The only survivor of a shipwreck was
washed up on a small, uninhabited
island.
He prayed feverishly for God to
rescue him, and every day he
scanned the horizon for help, but
none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to
build a little hut out of driftwood to
protect him from the elements and
to store his few possessions.
But then one day, after scavenging
for food, he arrived home to find his
little hut in flames, the smoke
rolling up to the sky. The worst had
happened; everything was lost. He
was stunned with grief and anger.
"GOD, how could you do this to
me!" he cried. Early the next day,
however, he was awakened by the
sound of a ship that was
approaching the island. It had come
to rescue him.
"How did you know I was here?"
asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they
replied.
It is easy to get discouraged when
things are going badly. But we
shouldn't lose heart, because GOD
is at work in our lives, even in the
midst of pain and suffering.
Remember, next time your little hut
is burning to the ground--it just may
be a smoke signal that summons The
Grace of GOD
Pass this on. You never know who
may be in need of this today.
