leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole
night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of 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 this 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 all
around him . Perhaps even 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. 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.
Moral of the story:
Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not
there."For we walk by faith
, not just by sight".
Have a great walk with God today and always. Have a blessed week..
