THANK GOD FOR FLEAS?

THANK GOD FOR FLEAS?

"In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:

"Corrie ten Boom in THE HIDING PLACE relates an incident that taught her
always to be thankful. She and her sister, Betsy, had just been
transferred to the worst German prison camp that they had seen yet,
Ravensbruck. On entering the barracks, they found them extremely
overcrowded and flea-infested.

That morning, their Scripture reading in 1 Thessalonians had reminded
them to give rejoice always, and give thanks in all circumstances. Betsy
told Corrie to stop and thank the Lord for their new living quarters.

Corrie at first flatly refused to give thanks for the fleas, but Betsy
persisted, and Corrie finally succumbed to her pleadings. During the
many months spent at the prison camp, they were surprised to find how
openly they could hold Bible studies and prayer meetings without guard
interference.

It was not until several months later that they learned the reason the
guards would never enter the barracks. Fleas!!!"

Has God brought 'fleas" into your life this Thanksgiving? Maybe it's
time to evaluate and thank God for the fleas He has brought into your
life.

I am thankful for the privilege of sharing with my Freedom Fighter
family and friends on this Thanksgiving Day. I trust that you and yours
will have a blessed day in Christ as you celebrate together. Have a
happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Great quote: Among the many acts of gratitude we owe to God, it may be
accounted one to study and contemplate the perfections and beauties of
His work of creation. Every new discovery must necessarily raise in us a
fresh sense of the greatness, wisdom, and power of God."
Jonathan Edwards
