Maybe this story [A Surprise Party] can help us figure it out. “It's like the story of a small boy whose mother, unknown to him, planned a surprise birthday party. After he got home, he went upstairs to his room.
Then all his classmates and teachers gathered in the living room. When his mother went to his room to get him, he was gone. He had climbed down a tree outside his window and was
hiding in a nearby park.
The rest of the children went on to enjoy a good time, but Johnny never turned up. When he came in for supper his mother asked where he had been; he had missed a wonderful
time, planned just for him. He tearfully confessed he had heard her call but hid until suppertime because he thought she had a chore for him to do! [Eric S. Ritz, The Ritz Collection, www.Sermons.com]
How sad - for him and for us if we make the same mistake. The Lord calls us each day to follow God’s Will, do not be afraid, or if you are afraid, give your fear to God and follow Him.
May God Be Praised and may we have the courage to Praise and Follow God.
