The young man who was shipwrecked

One day, a ship set sail on the high seas in which 20 men were traveling. It was a 50-day voyage and among them was a Christian man but the group was making fun him.

One night, the engine room exploded and the ship sank, only the faithful Christian surviving the shipwreck.

The sole survivor of the shipwreck was on a small desert island. He was praying fervently, asking God to rescue him. Every day, he checked the horizon looking for help, but it never came. Tired, he eventually started building a small cabin to protect himself from the cold and night storms.

One day, he went fishing and ran back when he saw that his cabin was burning; however, he could not save anything.

After having lost everything, he walked the island like a sleepwalker, without any hope.

The man was angry with God and crying he said, “How could you do this to me?” Until he fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he hear in amazement the horn of a ship that was coming to the island.

A rescue was coming! When his rescuers arrived, the man asked them: “How did you know I was here?” And they replied,“We saw the smoke signals you gave us.”

“Many times things don’t go the way we expected them. However, it is necessary to understand that all things that happen to us work for our good. Although for now we do not understand the reason for the situation, we must be sure that even in silence God is working on our behalf.”

It is important to maintain faith in the midst of adversity, since for every difficult situation God always has a way out. “We must learn to leave everything in the hands of the Lord, because He is greater than any problem.”

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.
