GOD WANTS TO HELP
Long ago, in the days of sailing ships, a terrible storm arose a ship was lost in the deserted area. Only one crewman survived, washed up on a small on inhabited island. In his desperation, the castaway daily prayed to God for help and deliverance from his lonely existence. Each day he looked for a passing ship and nothing. Eventually he managed to build a crude hut, in which he stored the few things he had recovered from the wreck and those things he had made to help him.
One day, as the sailor was returning from his daily search for food, he saw a column of smoke. As he ran to it he saw his hut inflames. All was lost. Not only was he alone, but he had nothing to help him in his struggle for survival. Stunned and nearly overcome with grief and despair, he fell into a deep depression spent nearly a sleepless night wondering what was to become of him and questioning whether life itself was even worth the effort.
The next morning, he got up early and went down to the sea. There to his amazement, he saw ship just offshore and the small boat rowing toward him. When the once marooned man met the ship’s captain, he asked him how he had known to send help. The captain replied, “we saw your smoke signal yesterday, by the time we drew close to the shore the tide was against us. So we had to wait until now to come and get you.”
Do not despair calamity strikes, for God is always able to bring a blessing out of what seems to be a curse. See God is always there regardless our situation. In the book of Psalm 46 we read these comforting words. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” (Psalm 46:1–2). Then we find the Hebrew writer telling us these great words, “… I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say; “the Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6). So we find that no matter what circumstances are situations we are in God always wants to help us. Ernie
