The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.
…
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.
…
But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.
…
The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.
…
Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island.
…
It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers.
…
“We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.
…
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
…
Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground - it just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of Almighty God.
…
Pass this on. You never know who may be in need of this today!
