It seems a nomad from Kano skipped church one Sunday to go bear hunting
in the mountains. As he turned the corner along the path, he and a bear
collided. The cowboy stumbled backwards, slipped off the trail and began
tumbling down the mountain with the bear in hot pursuit. Finally the nomad
crashed into a boulder, sending his rifle in one direction and breaking both
legs. As the bear closed in, the nomad cried out in desperation, "Lord,
I'm sorry for what I have done. Please forgive me and save me! Lord, please
make that bear a Christian."
Suddenly, the clouds parted and a beam of light appeared down on the bear. The bear skidded to a halt at the nomad's feet, fell to its knees, clasped its paws together and said, "God, bless this food which I am about to receive."

This might seem funny but I want to make a point here. There
are a lot of people who only tend to seek the Lord when they are in a crisis
situation and neglect Him at other times especially when the going is good and
everything is working according to plan. Yes agreed, the bible say call upon
the Lord in the day of trouble (ps 50 vs 15), but is that the only time you
will look for Him. It ought not to be so. I encourage you to spend more time
with God especially when things are going well because I have discovered that A
TRUE TEST OF YOUR FAITH ISNT WHEN THINGS ARE BAD, BUT RATHER WHEN THEY ARE
GOOD, because when things are good, people tend to think it’s by their
strength.
