I forgot all of my assignments; I failed all of my tests.
'Lord, why is it that things won't go my way?'
'Dear child it is because you didn't thank Me yesterday.
protected your family, and even let you make a new friend.
As if that weren't enough, I provided our favourite luxuries.
This was something I didn't have to do - they weren’t even necessities.
To show you how it would feel to stop being blessed.'
He said, 'My child, you have learned and you know I do forgive.
But just a simple thank you would show how much you appreciate it.'
A man was walking across a ravine on a shaky foot bridge. The bridge was very old and creaked ominously with every step that he took. Fear gripped him, his palms were sweating and his muscles aching as he held on tight to the rails. The wind started blowing and the old food bridge started swaying from side to side. Looking down the man saw the sharp edge rocks at the bottom of the ravine. He felt the sweat running down his face and down his back. His mouth was dry and his heart was racing in his throat. He knew that the bridge could collapse with his next step. He slowly closed his eyes and then he started praying for help.
As he opened his eyes after his prayer he saw God on the other side of the foot bridge. With a shaky voice he asked God to come near. But God didn’t move, He stood on the firm ground with His hands on the bridge’s rails. The man got angry. Why does God not want to help me? Why is He just standing there? I have asked for help in my difficult and dangerous situation and now God does not want to help me? Then, with great difficulty, he started moving forward. Foot for foot he neared the end of the bridge. After what felt like eternity he successfully crossed to the other side. He was very angry with God as he felt let down in his hour of desperation. As he looked at God he froze and goose bumps ran all over his body. He saw that the rails of the bridge was broken and that God was holding it together so that it could not collapse!
Sometimes when we face adversity and we need to cross a dangerous ravine on a shaky foot bridge, God has not forsaken us. He is holding the bridge together so that we can cross it in safety! He will never leave or forsake us! Trust Him. His ways are amazing!
omdat ek juis hierop vertrou, dat Hy wat ‘n goeie werk in julle begin het, dit sal voleindig tot op die dag van Jesus Christus;
