The Lost Lizard.
While tending to our snails, I saw a little lizard battling for freedom, he was lost in the pen. I tried to help it by hitting hard on the pen, however, rather than getting out, it kept running in circles. Oh, how blind and fearful it was.

Then I was reminded of the story of Haggai in the Holy Bible, her only son was dying. Unfortunately, she couldn't do much than cry. Afterwards, she left her son's side because she didn't want to witness her only child's death. However, she did another thing that led to her victory, she pleaded with the Owner of life to take care of her son, if only she could get water for her only child.
Upon hearing her heartfelt prayer, God opened her eyes to behold the well of water. There and then she fetched water and returned to resuscitate her son. To the glory of God, he lived. I say, I will live!!!
Many of us have lost virtuous things all because we failed to allow our inner eyes to work for us.
Eventually, the lizard escaped after much struggle. Although, sometimes it's hard work to pave the way for escape but with much strength and vibe, you can create one.
How many of us have lost our dear glory and missed our destinations all because we gave up just too early? I was once there.
But, what do you think would have happened if we have had a little more patience? Perhaps, we would have gotten our dream jobs, husband, wife, money, and many more.
Thank God that woman, Haggai learnt to pray and prayer worked for her. How many times have you persistently prayed to Him who created you to open your eyes of understanding? And when He did, how many times have you struggled with the well of water just to get to your destination like Haggai saved her son. Today, Jesus is our well of living water, have you found Him?
Do you know what? We need just a little extra patience, hard work, struggle, prayer, perseverance, etc, to get to the promised land.
May God grant us a safe journey to our destinations and the grace to forbear difficulties on our ways in Jesus' Name...Amen!
Receive your sight in Jesus' Name.
Are you praying already? Please do, because prayers can move mountains.
Who are thou obstacle? Before Crownofglory, ye shall become plain...Amen!!!
What are you saying for yourself?
