God is Good and Perfect

A King had a male servant who, in all circumstances always said to
him; My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is
perfect, no mistakes. One day, they went hunting and a wild animal
attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't
prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing
gratitude, the King said; if God was good, I would not have been
attacked and lost one finger. The servant replied, 'despite all these
things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is
perfect, He is never wrong'.

Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant.
While being taken to prison, he told the king again, God is Good &
Perfect.

Another day, the king left alone for another hunt and was captured by
savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages
found out that the king didn't have one finger in place, he was
released because he was considered not "complete" to be offered to the
gods. On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his
servant and said; My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost
killed 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 prison? His servant replied; My king, if I had not been put in
prison, I would have gone with you, and would have been sacrificed,
because I have no missing finger. Everything God does is perfect, He
is never wrong.

Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to
us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God knows why
you are reading this message today, please bless someone with it by
sharing it. God is good and perfect!!
