Once upon a time, a dog approached
an elephant to get into a child
bearing competition. In 3 months the
dog gave birth to 6 puppies. In the
next 3 months the dog gave birth to
yet another set of puppies. The
elephant finally gave birth after 20
months by which time the dog had
given birth to over 30 puppies and
was mocking the elephant into
believing that it had won the
competition. The elephant had a few
words for the dog when the baby
elephant came out after 20 months.
"I can see you had fooled yourself
into believing that you had won the
competition. I think you can
appreciate now that
1. I dont give birth to puppies
2. When I do give birth, the calf will
be ready to face the world on its own
3. The combined weight of your 36
puppies is less than a fifth of my
calf's weight
4. The moment my calf steps into
this earth it makes an immediate
great impact as if no dog was ever
born"
Woow. I thought that was amazing. I
looked up the bible and saw this
scripture. Eccle 9:11 'I have
observed something under the sun.
The fastest runner doesnt always win
the race, and the strongest warrior
doesnt always win the battle. The
wise sometimes go hungry and the
skillful are not neccessarily wealthy.
And those that are educated dont
always lead successful lives. It is all
decided by chance, by being in the
right place at the right time.'
Dont let any early leaders in this life
chide you into believing that you are
a failure, beaten flat out and you
have already lost the battle of success. I want you to think like an elephant. Don't envy cheap quick success. For as long as you are in
the right place, your chance is coming and by the signs of time it wont be long. You are not that small to give birth to puppies. Only your
one achievement will surpass several combined achievements.
The key part of the verse says,
'...being in the right place at the right
time.' All it means is remaining in the
hands of God. You are guaranteed to
make it in this life. Maintain your faith in Jesus Christ even when it looks like its all over for you. Looks are deceiving but the word remains forever. know that Jesus never says goodbye.
When its your time, God can correct 10yrs of mistakes with 1 event.
Patience is a virtue,so don't give up
