A story is told of a man who fell off a cliff while being chased by a lion. Fortunately, he was able to grab a rope to keep from plunging to a certain death on the rocks below. Unfortunately, the lion at the top kept him from being able to climb up to safety.
What could the poor man do? He was trapped between a deadly lion at the top and jagged rocks at the bottom. Then the unthinkable happened. A mouse began to chew on the rope. He changed from being helpless to hopeless.
Just then he saw a big, red, delicious‑looking strawberry growing out of the side of the hill. He grabbed the strawberry and ate it. "Thank you, Lord, he said, "for the best strawberry I've ever had in my life."
What do we learn from this story?
Don't focus on past problems and future difficulties. Live in the present. Look for your strawberry and thank God for it.
