The study of the history of mankind has always
revealed man’s ability to actualized hope out of hopeless situations. We have learnt over the years how to make
meaningful use of waste by recycling them to reduce the harm they brought us.
Unfortunately however most of us find it difficult
believing that similar things can happen to us considering how messed up our
lives seem to have become.
Nonetheless, the story of Samson and the lion he
killed further proves to us that there can be a change in our situations if
only we don’t stop believing.
On his way to make his marriage arrangements in
Timnath, Samson killed a lion which roared against him and left the body there
to rot concluding it was of no use to him.
When he returned to it after many days, he found usefulness in the
carcass of the lion: A swarm of bees had
taken possession of that carcass and filled it with sweet honey. He took some and ate and gave some to his
parents to eat as well. (See Judges
14:1-9)
The carcass was an act of man but the honey was an act
of God. This means God can create
something sweet out of every seemingly dead situation.
“If God can make sweetness come out
of a carcass, then your issue is not beyond restoration.”
Some people might think that your life and that issue you
are facing has become a “carcass”, but I see God bringing sweetness out of that
situation.
Trust God with that dead situation….People who wrote
you off will return to the same spot they left you wounded and you will become
a blessing to them.
Dr. Myles Munroe of blessed memory told a story of how
he was looked down upon and abused by his teacher at the age 14. This teacher verbally abused him, calling him
“a black monkey” and added “Black people cannot learn sophisticated things”.
Many years after however, he encountered this same
teacher at one of his numerous conferences seeking an autograph from him for
two of his books that he (teacher) had purchased. The teacher obviously apologized to Dr.
Munroe for underestimating him in the past.
You can have a similar story also. God uses situations in our lives to
accomplish His will and show us His greatness.
Make practical use of every incidence that comes your way. You can find honey in that dead situation.
