Faith in God crucial

Faith in God crucial: In a forest, a pregnant deer was in labour pain and was about to deliver. Looking for a safe place for delivery, she found a remote grass field near a river. Suddenly, the process triggered and she was in dire pain. At the same moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky and the lightning started a forest fire. Confused, she looked here and there and saw a hunter on her left with his bow pointing at her. Then she turned to her right, spotted a hungry lion approaching her. The deer knew she was in a real mess. Frightened to the hilt, she stood there, totally bewildered at the situation. But despite of being totally lost, her determination to bring her child into this world remained strong. As she was thinking of the possible threats she might have to face, a miracle happened. There was a huge lightning and that blinded the hunter. The arrow got released and zipped past the deer and hit the hungry lion. Soon it started raining heavily and the forest fire was slowly doused by the rain and in the midst of all this, the deer gave birth to a healthy fawn.  If we try to introspect, in our life too there are times when we are surrounded from all sides with negative thoughts and difficult situations. Some thoughts are so powerful that they overpower us, but it is for us to decide which path to follow. The deer story has a great lesson. Her priority in the given moment was simply to give birth to her baby. The rest was not in her hands and any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster. So she kept her cool and left everything to the God. In response to this faith, God created a perfect environment for the birth.  Like the deer, if we too focus clearly and have faith in God, then it is for sure that He will take care of all our needs and will bring us out of the most difficult situations.
