A story is told that, in a certain tribe, a boy becomes a man after an initiation exercise. His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him an leaves him alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help to anyone.

Once he survives the night, he is a MAN

He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own.

The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him . Maybe even some human might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man!
Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold.

It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.
He had been at watch the entire night, protecting his son from harm.

We, too, are never alone.
Even when we don't know it, God is watching over
us, Sitting on the stump beside us.
When trouble comes, all we have to do
is reach out to Him.

Moral of the story:

Just because you can't see God, Doesn't mean He is not there. "For we walk by faith, not by sight."

Faith's Way Of Walking Is To Cast All Care Upon The LORD, And Then To Anticipate Good Results From The Worst Calamities.

The Notice Of A Nobleman Is Valued So Highly That He Who Has It Counts His Fortune Made; But What Is It To Be Thought Of By The King Of Kings! If The LORD Thinks Upon Us, All Is Well, And We May Rejoice Evermore.
