His father takes him into the
forest,blindfolds him and leaves him
alone. He is required to sit on a stump the
whole night and not remove the blindfold
until the rays of the morning sun shines
through it. He cannot cry out for help to
anyone. Once he survives the night, he is a
MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this
experience because each lad must come
into manhood on his own. The boy is
naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of
noises. Wild beasts must surely be all
around him. Maybe even some human
might do him harm. The wind blew the
grass and earth, and shook his stump, but
he sat stoically, never removing the
blindfold. It would be the only way he
could become a man! Finally,after a horrific
night the, sun appeared and he removed
his blindfold. It was then that he
discovered his father sitting on the stump
next to him. He had been at watch the
entire night, protecting his son from harm.
We, too, are never alone. Even when we
don't know it, God is watching over us,
sitting on the stump beside us.
When
trouble comes, all we have to do is reach
out to Him.
Moral of the story: Just because
you can't see God doesn't mean He is not
there. "For we walk by faith, not by sight".
I pray God visits u at the point of your
need in Jesus Name. AMEN
