In the midst of any storm, do keep it on God always.

In a forest, a pregnant deer is
about to give birth. She finds a
remote grass field near a strong-
flowing river.
This seems a safe place.
Suddenly labour pains begin.

At the same moment, dark clouds
gather around above & lightning
starts a forest fire.
She looks to her left & sees a
hunter with his bow extended
pointing at her.

To her right, she spots a hungry
lion approaching her.

What can the pregnant deer do?
She is in labour!

What will happen?
Will the deer survive?
Will she give birth to a fawn?
Will the fawn survive?
Or will everything be burnt by the
forest fire?
Will she perish to the hunters'
arrow?
Will she die a horrible death at the
hands of the hungry lion
approaching her?

She is constrained by the fire on
the one side & the flowing river on
the other & boxed in by her natural
predators.

What does she do?
She focuses on giving birth to a
new life.

The sequence of events that follow
are:

- Lightning strikes & blinds the
hunter.
- He releases the arrow which zips
past the deer & strikes the hungry
lion.
- It starts to rain heavily, & the
forest fire is slowly doused by the
rain.
- The deer gives birth to a healthy
fawn.

In our life too, there are moments
of choice when we are confronted
on αll sides with negative thoughts
and possibilities.
Some thoughts are so powerful
that they overcome us &
overwhelm us.

Maybe we can learn from the deer.
The priority of the deer, in that
given moment, was simply to give
birth to a baby.

The rest was not in her hands & any
action or reaction that changed her
focus would have likely resulted in
death or disaster.

Ask yourself,
Where is your focus?
Where is your faith and hope?

In the midst of any storm, do keep
it on God always.
He will never ever dissapoint you,
NEVER.
Remember, He neither slumbers
nor sleeps.
