2 Corinthians 5:7

His father takes him 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 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.
Maybe even some human might do him harm. 
The wind blew the grass and earth, 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, a Great God is watching over us, sitting on the stump beside us.
When trouble comes, all we have to do is reach out to Him.

Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there.
For we walk by faith, not by sight. 2Corinthians 5:7.


This reminded me about the dream of man - the footprints
How many time we needed to be reminded that God is good and He love us.
How to counting the blessing; the goodness of You that i won't be able to forget.
teach me, lead me, guide me to be walking on your way by faith.
"For we live by faith, not by sight" ...it's so clear yet....
