You are not alone-a story of a young man and his father

A father takes his son into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays if the morning sun shine through it.

He cannot cry out for help to anyone.

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of his experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be around him.

May be some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and trees and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold.

It would be the only way he could become a MAN!.

Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.

He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

Beloved,we too, are never alone. Even when we don’t know it, God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us. 

When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

 God says in His word-Gen 28:15 that behold He is with us and will keep us wherever we go, and just because you can’t see God, does not mean He is not there with you in your predicament etc, and you will definitely triumph over those challenges in Jesus name. “For we walk by Faith, not by sight”.

Have a peaceful day
