The Will of God
The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.
Man: God, can I ask you a question ?
God: Sure.
Man: Do you promise that
you won't get mad ?
God: I promise.
Man: Why did you let so much stuff happen to
me today ?
God: What do you mean ?
Man: Well, I woke up late.
God: Yes.
Man: My car took forever to start.
God: Okay.
Man: At the cafe, they made my sandwich wrong
and I had to wait.
God: Hummm.
Man: On the way home, my phone went dead, just
as I picked up a call.
God: All right.
Man: And on top of it all, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work! Nothing went right for me today! Why did you do that ?
God: Let me see now; The death angel was in your bed this morning, and I had to send one of my angels to battle him for your life. So I let you sleep through that.
Man (humbled): OH.
GOD:
I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on
your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.
Man: (ashamed):
Uh Huh.
God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what they had, because I knew you could not afford to miss work.
Man (embarrassed): Okay.
God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, so I didn't even let you talk to them so that you would be covered.
Man
(softly): I see.
God: Oh, and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to shut out all of the power in your house tonight, and I didn't think you wanted to be left in the dark.
Man: I'm sorry God.
God: Don't be sorry; just learn to trust Me in all things. The good and the bad.
Man: I will trust You,
God.
God: And please don't doubt that my plan for your
day is always better than your plan.
Man: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything you did for me today.
God: You're welcome my child. It was just another
day of being your God and looking after my children.
