The Word for today:"Things aren't always what they seem"

Just some thing for you guys to meditate on

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room. Instead the angles were given a space in the cold basement.  As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied…”Things are not always what they seem”.

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angles sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel “How could you let this happen!? The first man had everything, yet you helped him,” she accused.” The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let their cow die.”

“Things are not always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave her the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

Sometimes this is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know until sometime later. As the bible says in everything give thanks. If you lost your Job, give him thanks because he is taking you to a better job. If you lost your car to robbers, give him thanks because you didn’t lost your life. If your husband or boyfriend leaves you, give him thanks because he is bringing someone better into your life. If you have a child who is stubborn and doesn’t listen to instructions, give him thanks… for blessing you with a child, there are people out there 10yrs, 15yrs, still waiting on the lord. In good or bad situation give him thanks always.
