All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) |
A miller and his family lost all their worldly possessions when a great
flood washed away their home and mill. Discouraged and brokenhearted,
the miller surveyed the devastation. While doing so, he noticed
something glittering in the sun on a nearby bank which had been
washed-out by the flood. Upon closer examination, he discovered it was
gold. The very floods that had stripped him of his home and business had
served to bring him a greater blessing than he had had before. Just as the flood stripped the miller and his family of their earthly possessions enabling them to discover a greater treasure, God sometimes allows “calamity” to strip us of our earthly treasures so that He might bestow a blessing upon us far greater than our losses.
