I think God is a God that loves recycled encouragement. Sent this out at some point in time and just got it back this week in a much needed time. Its not always gonna work out as planned or as hoped for. But there is no need to drop our heads when we know we have a God in full control who will reach down, grab us by the chin, hold our head up, and remind us of who we are in Him!! So here is a good story and a good song for a good Friday reminder. Thanks for the recycle Ken Lambert. When Your Huts On Fire The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. 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 himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, God! How could you do this to me? Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship 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. The Moral of This Story: Its easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldnt lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God. youtu.be/jd4qtmDGIWQ
