The Royal Messenger Needs A New Pair Of Shoes
Once upon a time, there was a royal messenger in dire need of new shoes. Though his feet often blistered from the tiny pebbles swept up through the heavy-lipped front sole, which had separated from the upper part of his shoe, he bore pains to deliver the King’s message on time.
One day, when his feet could bear no more, he requested a meeting with the King. Though busy, he took the time to see his messenger.
Approaching The Throne
As he approaches the King’s throne he falls to his knees. His face hits the cold floor as he prepares to make his request. “My Lord” he breathes out heavily.
“I have come to…” The King, smiling, stops him; “I have a gift for you.” The King calls his steward to bring the messenger a box. In it, two pairs of sturdy shoes.
Conclusion
We may feel like no one sees or cares about the things we go through. We may feel like nobody cares about our needs. The truth is that God sees EVERYTHING you are going through.
Isaiah 65:24 – “and it shall come to pass that before you call, I will answer; and while you are yet speaking I will hear”
This is how much God cares for our every need. He cares so much that He provides for us, sometimes before we even make the request. Trust in the fact that God’s care for us is just like this King’s concern for his peasant, endless.
