God is Never Wrong

I received the following story in an email and thought it was so good that I had to share it!

A king who did not believe in the goodness of God, had a slave who, in
all circumstances, said: My king, do not be discouraged, because
everything God does is perfect, no mistakes!

 

One day they went hunting and along the way a wild animal attacked the
king. His slave managed to kill the animal, but could not prevent his
majesty losing a
finger.

 

Furious and without showing his gratitude for being saved, the nobleman
said "Is God good? If He was good, I would not have been attacked and
lost my finger."

 

The slave replied only "My king, despite all these things, I can only
tell you that God is good,
and he knows the "why" of all these things. What God does is perfect. He
is never wrong!"

 

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his slave.

 

Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who made
human sacrifices.

 

As the savage was ready to sacrifice the noble on the altar, he saw that the
victim had a missing finger. They released the noble: they could not offer
an imperfect body to the gods.

 

Upon his return to the palace, the noble authorized the release of his slave and he received him very affectionately.

 
 
My dear, God was really good for me! I was almost killed by the wild
men, but for lack of a single finger, I was let go! But I have a
question: If God is so good, why did he allow me to put you in jail?

 

My King, if I had gone with you in this hunt, I would have been
sacrificed for you, because I have no missing finger.

 

Therefore, remember: everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong

 

Often we complain about life and things that happen to us apparently
negative,
forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose.
 

Every morning, offer your day to God.

 

Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions, to ease your
feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!
