Lesson Of The Day: God Doesn't Make Mistakes..

Keeping It Real: A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who,

in all circumstances would always say “my king, do not be discouraged,

because everything God does is perfect. He makes no 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 from

losing a finger.

Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman

asked "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and

lost my finger."

The slave replied: "My king, despite all these things, I can only tell you that

God is good, and he knows why these things happened. What God does is

perfect. He is never wrong!"

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.

Later, the King left for another hunt, this time alone. He was captured by

savages who engaged in human sacrifices.

On the altar and ready to sacrifice the nobleman, the savages discovered

that their victim did not have one of his fingers. According to them, only a

whole person with all his/her parts intact could be offered to the gods. The

King without a finger was deemed an abominable sacrifice for their gods.

So they released the King.

Upon his return to the palace, the King authorized the release of his slave.

He received the slave affectionately.

He asked his slave, "my dear, God was really good to me! I was almost killed

by the wild men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a

question: if God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?"

The slave answered, "my King, if I had gone with you on this hunt, I would

have been sacrificed instead because I have no missing finger. Remember

everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong. He made you keep me in

jail so I would not be with you on the hunt." God Is Never Wrong!! Ya Dig?...
