Blessed is he whom God helps

A long time ago, there lived a great king and two beggars who always
stood at the gate of the king's palace every day.
As the king rode by, the first beggar would say, "Blessed is he whom
the king helps", while the second beggar would say, "Blessed is he
whom God helps".


The king always felt pleased to hear the praise of the first beggar.
One evening , the king decided to reward the first beggar for all the
praise. He ordered his baker to bake a cake and wrap gold inside the
cake. The next day as he rode by, he gave the cake to the first beggar
as he hailed him as usual.
The first beggar, who was in dire need of cash ,sold the cake to the
second beggar at a cheap price. When the second beggar cut open the
cake ,he saw the gold, sold it and became a wealthy man. He did not
return to the king's gate the next day.


As the king rode out of his palace the next day, he saw the first
beggar still begging for money and stopped to ask him if he ate the
cake he gave him.
The first beggar replied, "No sir. I sold it to my friend who was here
with me yesterday. I have not seen him today."


The king shook his head, highly disappointed, and muttered silently to
himself, "Indeed, blessed is he whom God helps."


God is all-knowing. He has not forgotten you. He always does His work
just in time. So trust Him even when you don't understand His will.
When all hope is lost, God will help. When everyone has turned their
backs on you and the environment has not been kind to you, God can
help. His love for you is greater than any disappointment and His
plans for your life are far greater than what you can imagine. Your
travail will not last forever; you will definitely prevail. In that
disappointment lies your divine appointment.
Your waiting will not end in wailing. Don't underestimate what God is
doing in your season of waiting. He will help you if you let Him. Let
Him have His way. Don't try and manipulate or force the outcome.
