**Number 529   God knows best as He is completely in charge:

My life is a puzzle I'm still trying to figure out. When I consider the family I come from and born into; the kind of impoverishment and traumatic upbringing I experienced; the layers of injustices and unfair treatments meted out to me; the diabolical words spoken over my life directly; the gruesome circumstances of my bath which affected my right leg and ability to function normally like every other child growing up, I shudder.

For me, the story below puts into context the amazing wonders of God. The Master craft has the solution and formula to each of our lives. He allows a lot of things to happen (some of which may be unpleasant to you and I) that ultimately bring glory to his holy name.

You ought to know you are constantly at the heartbeat of the Lord Almighty; He would neither leave nor forsake you.

“A King had a male servant who in all circumstances always told him; My King, do not be discouraged because *God never makes mistakes*. One day they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn't save his majesty from losing a finger.

Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; If God was good, I wouldn't have been attacked and lost a finger. The servant answered: '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 he was taken to prison, he again said to the king: God is good and perfect.

Another day, the king went alone for another hunt and was captured by savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages discovered that the king did not have a finger in place, he was freed because he was not considered "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 answered; My king, if I hadn't been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and I would have been sacrificed, because I don't have a 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 post today, please bless someone with it by sharing it.

God is good and perfect!! My dear friend, a good attitude will determine your altitude. When you look at your life, your career, your work or your family life, what do you say? Do you praise God? Do you blame Satan? A right attitude toward God moves him forward on your behalf. Sit down and say: Today, I'm grateful to have had a peaceful sleep, I'm grateful to be alive with possibilities, I'm happy to have a roof over me, I'm grateful to have a job, I'm grateful to have family and friends. Above all, I am grateful to have God in my life.

Be blessed and don't be envious or shocked when others prosper because you don't know what they went through to get there (trial, trials and tribulation) so thank God for what you have.
