THE ARROGANT KING AND KING’S RING
There is nothing impossible with God. A man once disapproved of the way the people in his town worship their king. He felt the king should be respected alright, but the only God should be worshiped. The king got to know about the man’s opinion. Thinking he was against his rule, the king summoned the man and threw a challenge at him. “You must prove to me that your God is really alive and the only one to be worshiped”. The king told the man “If you can, I will spare your life but if you can’t you will be a dead man”.
The king removed his royal ring and threw it into the ocean, telling the man to bring back the ring in 30 days or be hanged publicly. The man went home, knowing full well that his God lives. The month ended, but he did not panic. On the very last day of the month, he went to market to buy fish. There was no fish, except the intestines of a large fish whose flesh had been purchased. He had an impression to buy the intestines. He did so and while cleaning the fish at home a knife touched an object which turned out to be the king’s ring.
“To subvert a man in his cause, The Lord approveth not. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?” (Lamentations 3:36-37).
Remember that God is your very presents help in time of trouble. When they ask you “where is your God”, tell them that the God that answereth by fire will one day answer you.
