A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because everything God does is perfect; He does not make any mistakes!
One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his majesty losing a finger.
Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman said: Is God good? If He were good, I would not have been attacked and lost a finger. "
To which the slave replied: My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good, and knows "why" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He is never wrong!
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.
Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made human sacrifices.
On the altar, ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages found that the man did not have one of his fingers, so he was released. According to them, the sacrifice was to be complete to be offered to the gods.
Upon his return to the palace, he authorized the release of his slave and received him very affectionately.
My dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed by the wild men but for lack of a single finger, was let go! But I have a question: if God is good, why did He allow me to put you in jail?
My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have been sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger, therefore, remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong...
Often, we complain about life and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.
Every morning, offer your day to God, don't be in a rush.
Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong! The path of God and His word is perfect, without impurities. He is the way of all those who trust in Him, as He says in 2 Samuel 22: 31
Even death on a cross can be faced and conquered when you know that God is with you. Have no fear; He is always with you.
