There's a simple little reminder in this story! God is in control and we
need to claim Romans 8:28.
A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going wrong.
School, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is
baking a cake. She asks the child if he would
like a snack, which of course he does. "Here. Have some cooking oil."
"Yuck" says the boy. "How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Grandma."
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Grandma, those are
all yucky!" To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by
themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a
wonderfully delicious cake! God works the same way. Many times we wonder why
he would let us go through such bad
and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things
all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him
and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!"
