GOD OVERRULES
The wrath of man can be made to praise God and work out good.So can the design by evil men be turned to the advantage of the good. The winter of 1874 was a very severe one in Palestine.Snow lay in the streets and on the flat roofs to a depth of several feet and by its weight many houses were crushed.In February a terrible storm raged in Gaza.During the night a thief entered one of the houses.He ransacked the lower appartments,laying his plunder ready to carry away.Then he entered the sleeping appartment occupied by the father and the mother of a baby.The baby was sleeping in a cradle and showed signs of waking and fearing that he would be betrayed by the crying baby,he carried the cradle outside,laying it down near the door.The child began to cry and awakened the mother,who ran towards where the cradle should have been.Not finding it,she called the father,who, hearing the cries,replied,"It is crying out-of-doors.How can that be?"Both of them ran outside,but no sooner had they got out- the roof caved in on account of the pressure of the snow.
The robber was found beneath the ruins with the stolen wealth in his possession.The father, mother and the child were unharmed,saved by the robber's greed and craft.
He was only carrying out his own evil desires but God used him for the salvation of the household.

"He was only carrying out his own evil desires but God used him for the salvation of the household."

This story is very touching. Miracles do happen in a special way. God is merciful and love. Amen.

This is a unique article. One more thing, the family have been saved by the robber's greediness. It was like a blessing in disguise. Thus, sad to say, things happen for a reason (which we sometimes don't understand). Hope everyone can learn a lesson from this story.
