I spent some time with a christian couple, we had a great meal then sat over coffee and chatted about Christian stuff and a story from the bible stood out for me.Once again its about trust and trying to see a brighter future that God promises.
recently I have been trying to get my head around the fact I am having to sell the house, and moving into the flat above my shop was not an option I wanted to accept. and having to find the strength to improve the business and to put house on the Market has been hard, and other things are even harder.
Why would after having this lovely house and good life has it suddenly been taken from me?...... then I heard this bible story...
Once again I'm not great at remembering the whole story or details but basically these 2 guys found themselves at a point where they had to separate and choose different directions.
Now one direction was full of lush green plants and the other was a dry sandy plan as far as the eye could see. I guess its obvious which was the best way to go right? and God said to these guys ''Choose which way each of you will go, choose who is going left and who is going right''
The first guy was confused and he knew he wanted to go towards the lush green area and he new he would find a way to survive. But he didn't suggest that and waited for the other guy to talk.The other guy looked up to God and said ''I don't Care which way I go''. The first guy couldn't believe his luck and new he could take the side which looked lush and full of life and ran off towards the trees.
The other guy stood and looked at the desert and the harsh environment in front of him and slowly walked forward towards the dry hot horizon.
So, Why did this guy not care about which way he went? Because he knew and Trusted in God and new that God would provide and even though things in front of him seem to be at its worse he knew that god would give him all he needed and more.
