Ship Wrecked Man There was once a man who was ship wrecked and stranded on an island. Everyday he prayed asking God to send someone to rescue him , but to his disappointment no one ever came. Months passed and this man learned how to survive on the island. During this time he accumulated things from the island and stored them in a hut that he constructed . one day after hunting for food and returning back to his hut , much to his dismay he saw that his hut was on fire along with everything he owned. All his possessions were going up in smoke. The only thing he had left were the cloths on his back. Initially he was in shock and then he was consumed with anger and rage. In his anger he throw a fist into the air and began cursing God and yelling “ God how could you let this happen to me? I have been praying everyday for months about being rescued and no one has come and now everything that I have is on fire. How could you do this to me , why did you let this happen? Later the man was on his hands and knees weeping heavily when he happened to look up and catch sight of a ship coming in his direction. The man was rescued and as they were heading back the man asked the captain “how were you able to find me? The captain replied “ we were going across the ocean when we notice on the horizon a column of smoke going up. We decided to go and check it out and when we did , this when we found you. Lesson : And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him , who have been called according to his purpose, ( Romans 8 : 28)
