When Your Hut's On Fire

When your hut's 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 him
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.
Th e Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged when things are
going bad, but we shouldn't 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.

 


P.S. You may want to consider passing this on, because you never know
who feels as if their hut is on fire today.

Hello BJ

This is very true.  God has a reason for everything he does and if we trust in Him we will see the reason for the burning of our hut today. Remember God never gives us more than we can handle.

Hi Gabrielle

Thank you for coming by, and posting.  I wanted to share this with my friends.  One never knows what the lord has in store.  There are always reasons that we may not understand.

God Bless you my friend.

Hi Bea

Thank you for coming by and thanks for the beautiful graphic.  This is truly inspiring and I hope this helps alot of people who are having hard times, that God has a reason for everything.  We may not know what it is, but that is not for us to understand.  Only God knows what's in store.  He is there to lead us.  It is up to us to follow or be lost.
