There was this Chinese mandarin in the days of the Chinese warlords that had a friend come over to visit Him. And the friend said, ‘how are things at your house?’ and he said, “Oh things are good.” He says he had a wonderful stallion horse, and the friend says, “Oh that’s good!”
“Well, I don’t know, the horse ran away.”
“Oh, that’s bad!”
“Well, I don’t know, the horse came back three weeks later with a dozen mares.”
“Oh, that’s good!”
“Well I don’t know, my son was breaking one of the mares, and he fell off and broke his leg.”
“Oh that’s bad!”
“Well, I don’t know, because the Tong lord came through gathering up soldiers to go to war and he didn’t take my son because he had a broken leg.”
"Oh, that’s good!"
You see? IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS. And don’t run around cursing the devil for everything that comes into your life that you don’t understand.
Nothing can touch our lives that isn’t for our eternal blessing.
Always remember Romans 8:28... "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."
