God always has our well being in mind. Reach out to Him, pray with all your heart, talk to Him about your fears, share your worries with Him and you will feel much lighter. You may even see the purpose of your present situation. A lady was having her breakfast, her 7 year old daughter, who was in a playful mood, accidentally dropped coffee on her. She yelled at her and had to go and change her clothes. When she came down, she found her child crying hysterically. It took a lot of time to pacify her and in the commotion the girl missed her school bus. She had to go and drop her to the school knowing full well that she was going to be late to office and would get hardly any time to prepare for an important presentation that she had to give later in the day. She cursed her fate, looked up to Heaven and muttered, “O God why me? Why did this happen on such an important day?” After dropping her daughter at her school she found that her office block, which was in a high rise building, had caught fire. The fire which had started two floors below had quickly spread to the rest of the floors and her colleagues were trapped in the building. Had she reached in time she too would have been one of them. Delay in reaching office had, in fact, saved her! So, look for God’s message in everything and have patience as well as faith.Latika Teotia
About This Quote
In the Bible, there are a lot of stories that talk about God’s intervention in people’s lives. In one of these stories, there was a king named David. He was a great warrior and a famous king. He had a beautiful wife named Bathsheba who was pregnant with their first child, a boy.
For a while, Bathsheba and her husband were very happy. They loved each other very much and delighted in their new baby. As time passed, however, David became more and more restless and he started doing things he should not have been doing.
He began to think of other women besides his wife. His affair with another woman named Abishag became serious enough for him to consider having children by her instead of his wife. When the time came for the marriage ceremony between him and this other woman he arranged for her to stay overnight in his chambers and she became pregnant within a week.
When the news reached Bathsheba she was broken hearted and in her grief took her life in front of half-a-dozen servants. The loss of her love was too much for her to bear so she took it away from herself rather than live without him or suffer in loneliness.
