GOOD MORNING!
JIM CAIN
A lone shipwreck survivor washed up on a small deserted island. He prayed daily for God to rescue him and everyday he looked to the horizon for help, but none was forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his hut in flames, the smoke billowing up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. Stung with grief and anger he cried, “God, how could you do this to me!”
Early the next morning, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” he asked the ship’s captain. “We saw your smoke signal,” was the reply.
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives even when things seem their worst.
