WHERE IS GOD IN YOUR LIFE
A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
mischievous. The two were always getting into trouble and their parents could
be assured that if any mischief occurred in their town their two young sons
were in some way involved.
The parents were at their wits end as to what to do about their sons' behavior.
The mother had heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in
disciplining children in the past, so she asked her husband if he thought they
should send the boys to speak with the clergyman.
The husband said, 'We might as well. We need to do something before I really
lose my temper!' The clergyman agreed to speak with the boys, but asked to
see them individually. The 8 year old went to meet with him first. The
clergyman sat the boy down and asked him sternly,'Where is God?'
The boy made no response, so the clergyman repeated the question in an even
sterner tone, 'Where is God?' Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the
clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face,
'WHERE IS GOD?'
Since we are children of
God, that means that we
are favored by God.
God’s favor has nothing
do with what we have
done but is solely the
choice and the prerogative
of God. He choose us in
Christ before the
foundation of the world
that we should be holy.
Divine favor is God’s
choice. So let’s thank God
every day that he has
favored us and live our
lives in such a way as ones
who are honored to be so
favored by God. Thank
God for favor!
Thanks for all you do!
Love,
Pastor H.B. Wilson
At that the boy bolted from the room and ran directly home, slamming himself
in the closet. His older brother followed him into the closet and asked what had
happened. The younger brother replied, 'We are in BIG trouble this time. God
is missing and they think we did it.'
