Hut's on Fire

vinayvarne · 9th July 2008, 03:54 PM

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for god to rescue him. Everyday 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 few of his 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 has 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.
Its 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.

WONDERFUL LOT TO LEARN

“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.”
